The aim of the Credit Suisse Global Wealth project is to provide the best available estimates of the wealth holdings of households around the world for the period since the year 2000.
While the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report highlights the main findings of our study, the 156-page Databook underlines the extent of our analysis. The Credit Suisse Global Wealth Databook provides detailed information on the evolution of household wealth levels through the period 2000 to mid-2014 at both the regional and country level. It presents our estimates on the distribution of wealth for over 200 countries. Based on this rich data, the Databook presents findings on wealth inequality in developed countries and emerging markets.

Research for the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Databook has been undertaken on behalf of the Credit Suisse Research Institute by Professors Anthony Shorrocks and Jim Davies, recognized authorities on this topic and the architects and principal authors of "Personal Wealth from a Global Perspective," Oxford University Press, 2008. Rodrigo Lluberas has also been a very significant contributor to the project.
