UBS Global Wealth Report 2025
Analysis based on 13 articles · First reported Apr 20, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026
The report from UBS indicates a significant increase in global personal wealth, particularly in the United States and Europe. This suggests a positive environment for financial markets, potentially leading to increased investment and consumption by high-net-worth individuals. However, the deepening inequality highlighted by UBS could raise concerns about social stability and future economic policies, which might introduce some market uncertainty.
UBS, a Swiss bank, released its annual Global Wealth Report on June 30, revealing that personal wealth globally grew at its fastest pace in years in 2025, creating nearly one million new U.S. dollar millionaires worldwide. Total personal wealth increased by 10.8% last year, driven by strong financial markets. The United States accounted for almost half of this growth, with over 440,000 new U.S. dollar millionaires. Wealth in U.S. dollar terms also grew quickly in Europe, largely due to the depreciation of the United States against the Europe. Despite the overall growth, the report noted a deepening of wealth inequality since 2020, with median wealth declining in most countries.
