Nation's wealthy ranks fourth globally

The nation stands fourth in the global ranking of US dollar millionaires following the United States, Japan and Germany, which together account for 60 percent of global millionaires, said France-based Capgemini and the Royal Bank of Canada.

The annual wealth report is the latest of many surveys, highlighting the growth of the wealthy in the Asia-Pacific region, despite concerns over slowing growth in the world's second-largest economy.

The number of people with at least $1 million in liquid assets in China reached about 750,000, compared to 4 million in the US, Japan's 2.3 million and Germany's 1.1 million, according to the survey.
