In Singapore, affluent individuals held 84% of the country’s total liquid assets in 2022, with mass affluents alone accounting for 49.7% of liquid assets. 2022 proved to be a hard year as savings rates returned to normal levels but inflation eroded real incomes. Consequently, interest rates increased to control price rises, resulting in poor performance in financial markets. Going forward, liquid assets held by the affluent population will record growth in both 2023 and 2024. This is because financial markets are expected to recover as interest rates stabilize, high energy prices subside, and inflation returns to target levels in Singapore as well as key trading partners
