APAC is the world's richest region: report

Its total wealth comes to US$114.56t.

Asia Pacific, including China and India, is the largest wealth region with total wealth at US$114.56t, according to the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report.

The region’s wealth increased by 3% since mid 2017.

China ranked second place in the world wealth hierarchy, despite its average wealth per adult of $47,810 in mid 2018 which is lower in comparison to Japan’s US$227,240. Singapore was the only Asian city amongst the top 10 major economies in terms of wealth per adult, placing ninth with US$283,120.

With countries such as China, Japan, Australia, Korea and Taiwan being home to 8.8 millionaires, APAC made a significant contribution to the global pool of high net worth wealth, the report notes. In total, they represent over 20% of the global total.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
