This extract from the "Chart of the Week" is a VisualCapitalist-feature

...trends: Global wealth is expected to rise by 50% over the next decade, reaching (potentially) USD 321 trillion by the year 2027. This will again be driven by strong growth in Asia...(see also the .pdf-link at the end of this posting).

In this connection a comment on India / The drivers behind the growth in India should be:

♦Large number of entrepreneurs,
♦Good educational system and English speaking.

Another "give-away" / The rise of the Asia 7

"One can guess(timate) that the big 7 wealth markets in Asia (also known as the "Asia7") are going to perform well in terms of wealth growth over the next 10 years. The "Asia7" include the following seven countries (ranked by total wealth):

If you don't wanna do the math, well: I did it :-)
If you sum up the current wealth in the 4 countries given above you reach a total value of ca. USD 58.7 trillion.
If you calculate the numbers for the TOP 4 in Asia you will get a sum of ca. USD 130 trn (for the year 2027).

The conclusion would therefore be a growth for the TOP 4 Asia-countries of ca. + 120% (in the upcoming 10 years).
This would be a Wealth-growth of ca. USD 71 USD trn from the year 2017 until 2027!
