Credit Suisse: For the first time in history, Romanians are wealthier than Hungarians – Survey

Romanians are now, for the first time in history, wealthier than any neighboring nations, including Hungarians, according to a fresh Credit Suisse report consulted by Business Review.

In 2018, the wealth per adult in Romania is estimated at USD 42,282, compared with USD 41,118 in Hungary, USD 30,224 in Bulgaria, USD 19,582 in Serbia, USD 5,204 in Ukraine and USD 3,837 in Moldova, Credit Suisse’s “Global Wealth 2018” report indicates.

However, Romanians remain much poorer than Western European nations like Britons (USD 314,842 per adult), French (USD 281,339), or Germans (USD 250,856).

Romania has had a very fast growth over the last two decades, but started out from a very low base.

In 2000, Romania had a wealth per adult of only USD 3,300, much lower than that of Hungary (USD 11,882) or even Georgia (USD 4,494), as widespread poverty and corruption were the norm.

But this year, Romanians are considered almost two times wealthier than Argentinians or Russians and three times wealthier than Brazilians, according to Credit Suisse.

However, Romanian nationals are still less wealthy than the Polish (USD 53,511 per adult) or the Czechs (USD 62,340).

    Glad to see in figures what I had already suspected, travelling now through the two countries, and comparing to how it used to be 20 years ago.

    I think that it s more important how wealth it is distributed between people and, form this point of view, Hungary is more omogenous, there is more equilibrium (Romania, my country, has one of the highest inequity Gini index in Europe).
