A new report reveals that the vast majority of newly generated wealth over the past six years has bypassed the global poorest half of the population, with less than two percent of total gains reaching them. The findings highlight a stark economic disparity, suggesting that wealth accumulation remains heavily concentrated among higher-income groups. Experts warn this trend could deepen inequality, raising concerns about access to opportunities and basic resources for those at the bottom. The analysis underscores growing divides in economic recovery and financial growth across different socioeconomic brackets.
Only 1.4 percent of all new wealth created between 2019 and 2025 went to the poorest 50 percent, report finds.
