Danes Lead as Wealthiest in the EU, Romanians Rank Lowest, Central Bank Data Shows

Denmark holds the title of the wealthiest nation in the European Union, while Romania ranks as the poorest, according to data from the Central Bank of Denmark. In the final quarter of last year, the average Danish household had a net wealth of around $272,300. However, despite their wealth, Denmark also ranks high among EU countries with the most personal debt, Telegrafi reports.

On average, Danes carry approximately $82,020 in debt, with Luxembourg citizens topping the list, holding an average debt of $95,850 per person.

The Central Bank of Denmark noted that the majority of Danish wealth is tied up in real estate, with relatively little in liquid assets. The average financial wealth of a Danish household is $193,330, nearly three times the EU average.

Following the Danes, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden are among the wealthiest EU nations. In contrast, Romania ranks as the poorest, alongside Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Greece.
