Global Share of Households and NPISHs’ Equity by Country

In 2023, Estonia led with a 53.7% share of households and NPISHs’ equity in total assets, although it saw a marginal decline of 0.85%. Conversely, Brazil's share showed a notable increase of 6.1% reaching 38.85%, positioning itself among the top in equity share. Sweden and Finland experienced minimal shifts near 0.5%. Meanwhile, Japan and the United Kingdom showed modest growth rates of approximately 2.6% to 2.75%. Israel, although lagging with just 8.16%, saw a 3% growth in equity share. Over the last five years, some countries have shown consistent growth in their equity shares, but others like Chile and Estonia have shown recent declines.

Looking forward, countries such as Denmark and Colombia, with 2023 increments of about 6%, are anticipated to maintain an upward trajectory in their equity shares. The variation patterns across these regions suggest potential opportunities for investors focusing on balancing assets in diverse markets. A global trend to observe is the shift in economic conditions and policy developments influencing households’ and NPISHs’ equity dynamics, as countries either bolster their financial systems or face economic constraints.
