The growth rate of welfare in Russia over the past two years is ahead of both medium-level and average in Eastern Europe – 13 percent per year against 8.3 and 12 percent, respectively. This is stated in the report “Global welfare 2021: When customers take on the initiative” The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), which is at the disposal of “tape.ru”.
In the past five years, from 2015 to 2020, the growth of financial welfare in Russia was 11.3 percent per year. According to BSG estimates, in the next five years the result will deteriorate almost twice – up to 6 percent. It will still be higher than the global value of 5 percent growth, but below 7 percent, which are expected in Eastern Europe.
Such results of Russia managed to achieve with the help of the richest citizens. The company calculated that the country’s most wealthy people own 40 percent of all financial assets – about 640 billion dollars.
In the coming years, this trend will continue and even intensify, according to the forecast, the share will reach 41 percent. However, according to data at the end of 2020, wealthy people accumulate in Russia four times a large share of funds than on average worldwide.
BSG also found out that Russia is ahead of the world in the proportion of assets invested. In the past five years, it was 80 percent, while on average, it is 58-61 percent, and in Eastern Europe – 70-71 percent.
