Household net wealth · Net wealth (patrimoine net) is the total value of a household's assets (real estate, bank and savings accounts, life insurance policies, securities, business assets, vehicles, valuables) minus all liabilities (mortgages, consumer loans, other debt). Data come from INSEE's Enquête Histoire de Vie et Patrimoine (HVP), which is harmonised with the ECB's Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS Wave 4). Entitlements from public and occupational pension schemes are excluded, so real-world economic wealth is typically higher than the survey-based figures.
