Briefings

Portuguese wealth data from the Banco de Portugal indicates that the top 10% of the population holds approximately 60% of the country's total wealth, while families below the median own only 6% of the wealth. This snapshot reflects a distribution where extreme inequality is concentrated among the wealthiest decile, with the remaining population holding a disproportionately small share of national assets.

Key points

• The top 10% of the population holds approximately 60% of the country's total wealth.
• Families below the median own only 6% of the country's total wealth.

Context
