China will create millionaires at a quicker pace than the United States in the five years through 2025, as a rapid recovery from the world’s worst public-health crisis in a century helps corporate chieftains generate and accumulate wealth faster, according to the 12th Global Wealth Report by Credit Suisse.
The number of US dollar millionaires in China will increase by 92.7 per cent to 10.17 million by 2025, compared with a 27.8 per cent rise in the US to 28.06 million US dollar millionaires over the same period, according to a projection by the Swiss lender.
