According to The Economist, "developed economies'" assets at the end of 2002 were the following:

  • Residential property: $48 trillion;
  • Commercial property: $14 trillion;
  • Equities: $20 trillion;
  • Government bonds: $20 trillion;
  • Corporate bonds: $13 trillion;
  • Total: $115 trillion.

That makes real estate assets 54% and financial assets 46% of total stocks, bonds, and real estate assets. Assets not counted here are bank deposits, insurance "reserve" assets, natural resources, and human assets.

Famous quotes containing the word market:

    Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)
