Bank of Korea data showed the gain accelerated from 3% in 2024, driven by rising home prices and securities values.
South Korea’s per-capita household net assets reached 274.7 million won in 2025, or about $185,600, climbing more than 9% from a year earlier as higher housing prices and stronger securities valuations lifted household wealth. The increase marked a sharp acceleration from the 3% annual rise recorded in 2024, according to data released Wednesday by the Bank of Korea (South Korea’s central bank).
