Dubai, June 14 (PTI) Saudi Arabia has emerged as one of the Top 10 countries in the world in terms of density of ultra-wealthy households, a new report has revealed.
"According to a BCG study, ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) households were mostly concentrated in Saudi Arabia, which registered 18 per 100,000 households," Markus Massi, Managing Director and Partner of The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), said.
He said that Saudi Arabia was followed by Switzerland (10), Hong Kong (9), Kuwait (8), Austria (8), Norway (7), Qatar (6), Denmark (5), Singapore (5) and the UAE (5). Massi added that the findings are published in BCG's 11th annual Global Wealth Report, entitled, "Shaping a New Tomorrow: How to Capitalise on the Momentum of Change," which was released recently in the Middle East.
An UNHW household has more than USD 100 million in assets under management (AUM).
