Asian millionaires richer

亞洲富豪身家首超歐洲

Asian millionaires are worth more than their European counterparts for the first time, largely because of the relative health of stock markets in Hong Kong, India and the Chinese mainland last year, a study said Wednesday. As of late last year, there were 3m millionaires in both Asia-Pacific and Europe, according to an annual analysis of investors with $1m or more in assets by Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management and Paris-based consultancy firm Capgemini. The survey quantified the wealth held in Asia at $9,700b, ahead of the $9,500b in Europe.

美林全球財富管理和巴黎凱捷咨詢公司23日聯合發布的調查顯示，亞洲百萬富翁的財富凈值首次超越歐洲富人，主要歸功于去年香港、印度和中國內地的股市表現相對穩健。這一對資產逾百萬美元的投資者進行的年度調查發現，截至去年末，亞太地區和歐洲都有300萬名百萬富翁，而亞洲富豪擁有的財富為9.7萬億美元，略勝于歐洲的9.5萬億美元。
