Singapore residents rank 4th in financial assets

Residents in Singapore on average have more financial assets such as cash, stocks and bank deposits than their peers elsewhere, a global wealth report said.

Allianz's global research team in Munich attributed this to Singapore's capital-funded pension system, the Central Provident Fund (CPF).

The Allianz global wealth report issued recently placed Singapore fourth globally in 2023 with net financial assets per capita at €171,930 (S$246,000).
