Quote:
Europe was especially weak in 2003, after topping the U.S. in 2002. Although the economies of Spain, the U.K. and Sweden perked up last year because of strong consumer demand, the lumbering giants of France and Germany weighed down European wealth creation. High unemployment, weak consumer demand and budgetary crises left Europe with wealth growth of only 2.4%. The number of high-net-worth individuals in France grew by just 5,000.
