Summary
Croatian adults’ inflation-adjusted net wealth rose 29% from 2020 to 2025, placing the country behind only South Korea at 55% and Russia at 37% in UBS’s latest Global Wealth Report.
UBS said just nine countries posted wealth growth above 20%, while 15 saw declines, including the Netherlands at 14% and the UK at 23%, underscoring how unusual Croatia’s gain was.
Eastern Europe helped drive that result, with regional personal wealth up 28% in 2025 versus 17% in Western Europe, according to the report.
Separate Croatian central bank data showed household net financial assets at about €88 billion at the end of Q1 2026, up 9% year on year, or roughly €23,000 per resident.
UBS estimated global wealth rose 10% in 2025 and nearly 1 million new dollar millionaires emerged, even as median wealth fell in many markets, signaling wider inequality.
