A RECENT STUDY PUTS FRANCE AHEAD OF MOST COUNTRIES The average net wealth of people in France has risen year-on-year, with the country now in the world’s top 10, a new report has found. The

Allianz Wealth Report 2024 found that the average net wealth of people in France was almost €215,000 in 2023, increasing from its ranking of 13th place in 2022 to 10th in 2023. The annual

report details the financial wealth of the residents of the world’s richest countries. Despite rising inflation and a heavy national deficit, personal financial wealth appears to be

relatively healthy, the report showed, with “buoyant” stock markets supporting considerable asset growth.  From financial assets alone - investments, savings accounts, life insurance, shares

etc - France ranks 16th in the list. This puts it two places ahead of Germany, but behind Italy, the UK and Ireland, as was the position a year earlier. Average French financial assets rose

by €4,880 to €72,380 in 2023 compared to 2022, the report states. Read also: What income makes you rich in France? Think tank sets 2024 figure  Read also: How much must you earn to be
