Household net worth rises on equity market momentum
Canadian households accumulated financial wealth in the third quarter of 2025, as their net worth—the value of all assets minus all liabilities—increased by almost a half-trillion dollars (+$460.5 billion; +2.6%) to reach $18,394.1 billion, the eighth consecutive quarterly increase and the largest increase since the first quarter of 2024. Households further improved their financial position in the third quarter of 2025 as gross domestic product rebounded, interest rates eased, and global trade uncertainty persisted. However, these gains were likely not evenly distributed among households as the wealthiest (top 20% of the wealth distribution) hold nearly 70% of all financial assets and are therefore best positioned to benefit from accruing investment incomes and gains from revaluation when markets perform well.
