Q3-2017: Another record high

by Philipp Immenkötter

At the end of the third quarter of 2017, the price of assets held by German households rose by 8.7% year-on-year. The inflation rate even exceeds the most recent all-time high from Q2-2017.

The price growth rate is driven by operating assets (+22.9% compared to the same quarter of the previous year) and equities (+13.0%) as well as the new record price increase for real estate (+7.7%).

The wealthiest households and persons before retirement age benefit the most from rising asset prices, as they have the largest proportion of business assets and large real estate assets.
