The richest are sucking up the world’s wealth ever faster – 2024-08-14 10:07:50

/ world today news/ The wealth accumulated by the one percent of the richest people in the world already exceeds that of the remaining 99%. The prediction came true a year in advance, AFP reported.

The agency cited a report by the British non-governmental organization Oxfram (Oxfam), which came out on Monday on the eve of the “World Economic Forum” – the traditional meeting of the most influential people in the world in the Swiss resort of Davos.

“The gap between the richest and the rest of the population has widened dramatically over the past 12 months,” said the non-governmental organization’s report entitled “Economics in the Service of the 1%”, published on the eve of the World Economic Forum, which begins on Wednesday in Davos. .

“Last year, Oxfram predicted that the top 1% would own more than the rest of the world in 2016. This prediction actually came true as early as 2015, a year early,” the report said.
