Romanians own 5.7% of the financial wealth of the Eastern European region, according to the Boston Consulting Group Global Wealth Report 2024: The GenAI Era Unfolds.
The financial wealth of Romanians will grow at an average rate of approximately 9% over the next five years, one percentage point faster than the average forecast for Eastern Europe and three percentage points above the average expected global growth rate, according to BCG Global Wealth Report 2024: The GenAI Era Unfolds, the 24th global wealth report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
The financial wealth of Romanians, valued at 300 billion dollars, represented 5.7% of the financial wealth of the Eastern European region in 2023, experiencing an annual increase of 15.5% in the period 2018-2023. The BCG report estimates that the financial wealth of Romanians will grow by 8.6% per year, in the next 5 years, reaching the value of 400 billion dollars in 2028.
The share of long-term investments, non-investable wealth, consisting mainly of life insurance and pension savings, represents a percentage of 40% of the total financial wealth of the Romanian people, well above the Eastern European average (31%), but also above the average global (35%). At the same time, the share of investable wealth, which includes cash, deposits, investment funds, stocks and bonds, is slowly but steadily declining, an opposite trend to what we see globally.
“Romanians keep a relatively low share of their wealth in cash and deposits (34%), compared to the average in Eastern Europe (44%). We also see a very high share of other investments, 20%, in unlisted stocks and smaller asset classes, which is rare in other regions, where the global average is only 2% and the Eastern European average is of 8%”, stated Krisztian Horvath, Partner and Associate Director, Wealth Management, BCG.
