Random Look At Charts From Credit Suisse Annual Global Wealth Reports -- March 13, 2016

Warning: if you do decide to download these PDFs, they can take a very long time to download depending on the speed of your internet connection. My connection was very fast in some places and downloaded quickly; other places the connection was slow and the download would have taken forever had I continued.
 
Don sent me the link for these graphs. You can go to the Credit Suisse website and view/download annual global wealth reports. I was curious how the slump in oil prices affected change in global among selected countries.

The reports had similar graphs for the past four years (2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015) but I did not see similar graphs in the 2011 and the 2010 report. The Bakken was reaching its stride in 2010. Oil hit some of its highest prices prior to the Saudi Slump / Surge which began in October, 2014.

Commentary by the authors of the annual reports can be found at the above link (and the corresponding report, of course).

But here are the graphs. Note, these graphs do not show all countries, just those countries with the largest gains or losses. Saudi Arabia shows up on none of the graphs; it will be interesting if Saudi Arabia shows up next year as a "big loser." The US shows up in all the graphs -- I find that interesting because these are not graphs comparing "total wealth," but rather change in total wealth.

I have added one additional graph at the very bottom from the most recent report because it shows additional countries, including more of the oil-producing countries.

Again: if you do decide to download these PDFs, they can take a very long time to download depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Change In Household Wealth

This is the additional chart I added. It comes from the most recent report. I included it because it shows more countries, including more oil-producing countries. Note the change in wealth for: Brazil, Mexico, Norway, Russia. Again, these are only the countries with the biggest gains and losses. It will be interesting if Saudi Arabia shows up next year as the biggest loser.
