The commentary

Household financial assets increased by CHF 119 billion to CHF 3,146 billion (up 3.9 %) in 2024, which was due to both transactions and capital gains. While households invested in all quarters, they benefited from rising stock market prices in Q1 in particular .

Household liabilities increased by CHF 22 billion to CHF 1,037 billion (up 2.1 %) over the course of 2024. At CHF 953 billion, mortgages made up by far the largest share, increasing more strongly again (up CHF 19 billion or 2.1%) in 2024 following a slowdown in growth since Q4 2022.

Net worth (financial assets and real estate wealth less liabilities) increased by a total of CHF 180 billion to CHF 4,880 billion (up 3.8 %) in 2024. The rise in household financial assets and real estate wealth (46.8 % of total assets of households) was significantly stronger than that in household liabilities.
