Les villes les plus riches du monde en 2024

LONDRES, 07 mai 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Si l’on prend en considération le nombre de millionnaires résidents disposant d’un patrimoine liquide investissable d’au moins 1 million de dollars, les États-Unis sont en tête du peloton, avec 11 villes figurant parmi les 50 premières, dont New York, qui occupe fermement la 1e place dans le Rapport des villes les plus riches au monde en 2024, publié annuellement par les spécialistes de la migration de la richesse internationale Henley & Partners Aujourd’hui la richesse totale détenue par les habitants de la Grosse Pomme dépasse les 3 000 milliards de dollars, soit plus que la richesse totale détenue dans la plupart des grands pays du G20. 349 500 millionnaires, 744 centimillionnaires et 60 milliardaires vivent dans la ville, ce qui est stupéfiant.

À la 2e place, la région de la baie de Californie du Nord (qui englobe San Francisco et la Silicon Valley) talonne de près New York. La baie a vu sa population de millionnaires augmenter de 82 % au cours de la dernière décennie et compte aujourd’hui 305 700 millionnaires, 675 centimillionnaires et 68 milliardaires.

Tokyo, qui était en tête du peloton il y a dix ans, a subi un déclin de 5 % de ses habitants HNWI, et occupe désormais la 3e place avec seulement 298 300 millionnaires. Singapour gagne deux places et se hisse en 4e position du classement mondial après avoir enregistré une impressionnante augmentation de 64 % du nombre de millionnaires au cours des dix dernières années. Environ 3400 HNWI ont déménagé dans la cité-État rien qu’en 2023. Singapour compte désormais 244 800 millionnaires, 336 centimillionnaires et 30 milliardaires résidents.

Londres en chute libre

Londres, qui s’est postionnée comme la ville la plus riche du monde pendant de nombreuses années, continue de dégringoler dans le classement et se retrouve désormais à la 5e place avec seulement 227 000 millionnaires, 370 centimillionnaires et 35 milliardaires, soit une baisse de 10 % au cours de la dernière décennie. En revanche, Los Angeles, où résident 212 100 millionnaires, 496 centimillionnaires et 43 milliardaires, a grimpé de deux places au cours de la période de 10 ans pour atteindre la 6e place, avec une croissance notable de 45 % de sa population fortunée. Paris, la ville la plus riche d’Europe continentale, conserve sa 7e place avec 165 000 millionnaires résidents, tandis que Sydney se hisse à la 8e place avec 147 000 HNWI après une croissance exceptionnellement forte de la richesse au cours des 20 dernières années.

Le Dr. Juerg Steffen, PDG de Henley & Partners, affirme que la forte performance des marchés financiers a été un facteur clé de la croissance dans les villes les plus riches du monde. Il a également ajouté : « les gains de 24 % de l’indice S&P 500 de l’an passé, ainsi que la hausse de 43 % du Nasdaq et le bond impressionnant de 155 % du Bitcoin, ont soutenu la richesse des investisseurs fortunés. De plus, les avancées rapides dans l’intelligence artificielle, la robotique et la technologie de la Blockchain ont offert de nouvelles opportunités de création et d’accumulation de richesses. Pourtant, même si de nouvelles opportunités émergent, les anciens risques persistent. La guerre en Ukraine, qui a vu la population de millionnaires de Moscou chuter de 24 % à 30 300, est un rappel brutal de la fragilité de la richesse dans un monde incertain et instable. »

La Chine et l’essor des millionnaires

La Chine a établi une présence notable dans le dernier classement des 50 villes les plus riches, avec 5 villes de Chine continentale sur la liste et 7 villes si l’on compte Hong Kong (avec 143 400 millionnaires) et Taipei (30 200). Pékin (125 600 millionnaires) se classe pour la première fois dans le Top 10 après une croissance de 90 % de sa population de millionnaires au cours de la dernière décennie, et bien que Hong Kong ait chuté de quatre places pour se classer à la 9e position, les villes de Shanghai (123 400), Shenzhen (50 300), Guangzhou (24 500) et Hangzhou (31 600) ont toutes enregistré des augmentations significatives de leur population de millionnaires.

Andrew Amoils, responsable de la recherche chez New World Wealth, affirme que Shenzhen est la ville dans le monde qui connaît la croissance la plus rapide pour les personnes fortunées, avec une explosion de 140 % de sa population de millionnaires au cours des dix dernières années. « En ce qui concerne le nombre de millionnaires, Hangzhou a également enregistré une augmentation massive de 125 % quant à Guangzhou, elle a atteint 110 % au cours de la dernière décennie. Si l’on se penche sur le potentiel de croissance de la richesse au cours de la prochaine décennie, les villes à surveiller comprennent Bengaluru (Inde), Scottsdale (États-Unis) et Ho Chi Minh-Ville (Vietnam). Ces trois villes ont connu des taux de croissance exceptionnels de plus de 100 % de leur population de millionnaires au cours des dix dernières années. »

Pour ce qui est du Moyen-Orient, Dubaï remporte aisément la palme de la ville la plus riche de la région, avec une croissance impressionnante de 78 % de sa population de millionnaires au cours des dix dernières années. Actuellement classée en 21e position des villes les plus riches au monde, Dubaï en magnat millionnaire a de fortes chances d’entrer bientôt dans le Top 20, et bien que la capitale des Émirats arabes unis, Abu Dhabi, riche en pétrole, n’ait pas encore réussi à se hisser dans le Top 50, des taux de croissance de plus de 75 % en font un candidat probable à l’avenir.

Alors qu’aucune ville africaine ou sud-américaine ne figure dans le Top 50, le rapport identifie plusieurs étoiles montantes, notamment Nairobi (4 400 millionnaires) et Le Cap (7400), toutes deux ayant enregistré une augmentation de 25 % et 20 % respectivement de leur population de résidents HNWI au cours de la dernière décennie.

Les villes les plus chères du monde

Monaco, sans doute le premier refuge mondial pour les super-riches, où la fortune moyenne dépasse 20 millions de dollars, est également la ville la mieux classée en termes de richesse par habitant. Plus de 40 % de ses habitants sont des millionnaires, soit le taux le plus élevé de toutes les villes dans le monde. La cité monégasque figure également en tête du classement des Villes les plus chères du monde, le prix des appartements dépassant régulièrement 35 000 dollars du mètre 2.

New York se classe au 2e rang avec un prix moyen de 28 400 dollars du m2, suivie de Londres (26 500 dollars du m2), de Hong Kong (25 800 dollars du m2), de Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat en France (25 000 dollars du m2) et de Sydney (22 700 dollars du m2).

As Cidades mais Ricas do Mundo em 2024

LONDRES, May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Em termos de quantidade de milionários residentes com patrimônio líquido investível de US$ 1 milhão ou mais, os EUA lideram o grupo, com 11 cidades no Top 50, incluindo Nova York, que se mantém firmemente em 1º lugar no Relatório das Cidades Mais Ricas do Mundo de 2024, publicado anualmente pelos especialistas em migração de riqueza internacional Henley & Partners. A riqueza total acumulada pelos residentes da Big Apple agora ultrapassa US$ 3 trilhões — maior do que a riqueza total acumulada na maioria dos principais países do G20 — e 349.500 milionários, 744 centimilionários e 60 bilionários vivem na cidade.

Em 2º lugar está a Bay Area, no norte da Califórnia (que engloba a cidade de São Francisco e o Vale do Silício), que aumentou sua população milionária em 82% na última década e agora abriga 305.700 mil milionários, 675 centimilionários e 68 bilionários.

Tóquio, que liderava o grupo há uma década, sofreu um declínio de 5% em sua população residente HNWI, e agora está em 3º lugar, com apenas 298.300 milionários. Cingapura sobe duas posições para o 4º lugar no ranking global após um impressionante aumento de 64% de milionários nos últimos dez anos — aproximadamente 3.400 HNWIs se mudaram para lá apenas em 2023 e a cidade-estado agora possui 244.800 milionários residentes, 336 centimilionários e 30 bilionários.

O declínio de Londres

Londres, a cidade mais rica do mundo há muitos anos, continua a cair no ranking, e agora está em 5º lugar, com apenas 227.000 milionários, 370 centimilionários e 35 bilionários — uma queda de 10% na última década. Por outro lado, Los Angeles, lar de 212.100 milionários, 496 centimilionários e 43 bilionários, saltou duas posições no período de 10 anos para o 6º lugar, desfrutando de um notável crescimento de 45% em sua população rica. Paris, a cidade mais rica da Europa continental, mantém seu 7º lugar com 165.000 milionários residentes, enquanto Sydney sobe para a 8ª posição com 147.000 HNWIs após um crescimento excepcionalmente forte da riqueza nos últimos 20 anos.

Dr. Juerg Steffen, CEO da Henley & Partners, diz que um fator fundamental que impulsionou o crescimento nas cidades mais ricas do mundo foi o forte desempenho dos mercados financeiros. “O ganho de 24% da S&P 500 no ano passado, juntamente com a alta de 43% da Nasdaq e o impressionante rali de 155% do Bitcoin, impulsionou a fortuna de investidores ricos. Além disso, os rápidos avanços em inteligência artificial, robótica e tecnologia blockchain proporcionaram novas oportunidades para criação e acumulação de riqueza. No entanto, mesmo que surjam novas oportunidades, velhos riscos persistem. A guerra na Ucrânia, que fez a população milionária de Moscou despencar 24%, para 30.300, é um lembrete gritante da fragilidade da riqueza em um mundo incerto e instável.”

O boom milionário da China

A China estabeleceu uma presença notável no último ranking das 50 Cidades Mais Ricas com 5 cidades da China continental fazendo parte da lista, e 7 cidades ao contar Hong Kong (com 143.400 milionários) e Taipei (30.200). Pequim (125.600 milionários) entra no Top 10 pela primeira vez após um crescimento de 90% em sua população milionária na última década e, embora Hong Kong tenha caído quatro posições, para o 9º lugar, Xangai (123.400), Shenzhen (50.300), Guangzhou (24.500) e Hangzhou (31.600) registraram aumentos significativos em suas populações milionárias.

Andrew Amoils, Chefe de pesquisa da New World Wealth, diz que Shenzhen é a cidade que mais cresce no mundo para os ricos, com sua população milionária explodindo 140% nos últimos dez anos. “Hangzhou também experimentou um enorme aumento de 125% e os milionários de Guangzhou cresceram 110% na última década. No que diz respeito ao potencial de crescimento da riqueza na próxima década, as cidades a observar incluem Bengaluru (Índia), Scottsdale (EUA) e Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnã). Todas as três desfrutaram de taxas de crescimento excepcionais de mais de 100% em suas populações milionárias residentes nos últimos dez anos.”

Voltando ao Oriente Médio, Dubai facilmente assume a coroa como a cidade mais rica da região, com um crescimento impressionante de 78% em sua população milionária nos últimos 10 anos. Atualmente classificada como a 21ª-cidade mais rica do mundo, a magnata milionária tem grandes chances de entrar no Top 20 em breve e, embora a capital dos Emirados Árabes Unidos, Abu Dhabi, rica em petróleo, ainda não tenha conquistado um lugar no Top 50, taxas de crescimento de mais de 75% a tornam uma provável candidata no futuro.

Embora nenhuma cidade africana ou sul-americana entre no Top 50, o relatório identifica várias estrelas em ascensão, incluindo Nairóbi (4.400 milionários) e Cidade do Cabo (7.400), que tiveram um aumento de HNWIs residentes de 25% e 20%, respectivamente, na última década.

Cidades mais caras do mundo

Mônaco, indiscutivelmente o principal porto seguro do mundo para os super-ricos, onde a riqueza média ultrapassa US$ 20 milhões, também é a cidade mais bem classificada em uma base de riqueza per capita. Mais de 40% de seus moradores são milionários – a maior proporção de qualquer cidade do mundo. Também está no topo da lista das Cidades mais Caras do Mundo, com preços de apartamentos regularmente superiores a USD 35.000 por m2.

A cidade de Nova Iorque ocupa o 2º lugar, com o preço médio de imóveis de primeira linha sendo US$ 28.400 por m2 seguida por Londres (US$ 26.500 por m2, Hong Kong (US$ 25.800 por m2), Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat na França (US$ 25.000 por m2) e Sydney (US$ 22.700 por m2).

RIYAD, Arabie Saoudite, 03 mai 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le KFSH&RC (King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre) se classe en tête du secteur de la santé en Arabie Saoudite et au Moyen-Orient, et se distingue pour la deuxième année comme la marque de soins de santé la plus valorisée dans ces régions.

Syrians Seek UN Rights Ruling Against Russia for 2019 Hospital Attacks

Open Society Justice Initiative Files Complaint to the UN Human Rights Committee

New York, May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Russian Federation has been accused before the UN Human Rights Committee in Geneva of carrying out a deliberate attack on a hospital in Syria—in a legal action that highlights Moscow’s repeated use of military force against health care facilities in Syria, where its forces have been supporting the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

A complaint before the Committee, filed on May 1, focuses on a series of air strikes on Kafr Nabl Surgical Hospital in Idlib province on May 5, 2019.

It accuses the Russian Air Force of killing two civilians and endangering the lives of all those working in and using the hospital at the time—medical practitioners, patients, support staff, and visitors.

The complaint has been brought before the Committee by a Syrian man whose two cousins were killed by the attack, and by Hand in Hand for Aid and Development, the humanitarian NGO that was supporting the hospital at the time. Hand in Hand is representing the interests of the patients of the hospital.

The applicants are represented by lawyers of the Open Society Justice Initiative, with Professor Philip Leach, professor of human rights law at the UK’s Middlesex University as co-counsel.

The evidence being presented to the Committee includes a detailed account of the Russian Air Force attack on the hospital at Kafr Nabl, and on three other hospitals near Kafr Nabl in just 12 hours on May 5-6, 2019. There was no fighting near the hospital at the time of the attack, which lay in opposition-controlled territory some 20km away from the front line.

The complaint draws on a wealth of video and audio recordings made at the time, as well as eyewitness accounts that point to direct Russian Air Force involvement in coordinating and executing the attacks. The material includes observations of Russian aircraft in the area at the relevant time, and audio recordings of communications between a Russian pilot and Russian ground control, authorizing the release of aerial munitions and confirming that the aerial munitions had been dropped, at the precise times that strikes were captured on video. Some of the material included as evidence in the complaint was used by the New York Times in a special report published on October 13, 2019.

Fadi al-Dairi, the director of Hand in Hand, said: “The Russian air force attack on Kafr Nabl hospital was a well-documented atrocity that was part of a systematic assault on hospitals and healthcare facilities in opposition-held territory in Syria in 2019. The coordinates of the hospital had been shared with Russia by the UN under the UN Deconfliction Mechanism. Syrians are looking to the Human Rights Committee to show us some measure of redress by acknowledging the truth of this brutal attack, and the suffering caused.”

James A. Goldston, executive director of the Justice Initiative, said: “This complaint before a preeminent international human rights tribunal exposes the Russian government and armed forces’ deliberate strategy of targeting healthcare in clear violation of the laws of war. It must remind us all that attacks on protected healthcare facilities—whether in Syria, Sudan, Ukraine, or the Gaza Strip—are an abomination that must never be normalized.”

The complaint is being supported by expert analyses prepared by Syrian Archive and Physicians for Human Rights. Physicians for Human Rights has documented 604 attacks against medical facilities in Syria since 2011, the overwhelming majority conducted by Syrian and Russian forces.

Houssam al-Nahhas, MD, Middle East and North Africa Researcher for Physicians for Human Rights, said: “Widespread and systematic attacks on health care in Syria are part of a strategy implemented by the Syrian and Russian governments, devastating the country’s health care system. Despite the seriousness of these crimes, no perpetrators have ever faced accountability. We hope this landmark case helps to end the impunity for attacks on health care in Syria and serve as a warning to perpetrators in other conflicts around the world.”

The Geneva-based Human Rights Committee is a body of 18 independent experts that monitors implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which has been signed by 173 countries. Under the ICCPR’s Optional Protocol, which the Russian Federation signed in 1990, individuals can bring complaints against signatory states before the Committee over rights violations.

The complaint accuses the Russian Federation of perpetrating a clear and serious violation of International Humanitarian Law by deliberately attacking a protected medical facility, in breach of the Right to Life under the ICCPR. The attack killed two brothers and endangered the lives of everyone working in and using the busy hospital. The hospital was operating normally at the time of the attack and neither Russia nor Syria provided any warning before the attack. This is not the only time the facility was targeted: Kafr Nabl Hospital was attacked 13 times between 2014 and 2019.

From a legal perspective, a decision against Russia would provide significant new jurisprudence on the extraterritorial obligations of States in armed conflict, and would pave the way for progressive decisions from other human rights bodies and courts.

The Open Society Justice Initiative is part of the Open Society Foundations, and pursues strategic litigation on a range of issues including advancing human rights and advancing the rule of law. Its work on Syria has included supporting efforts to bring top Syrian officials and leaders to trial before national courts in Europe for crimes against humanity committed in Syria.

CLEVELAND, OH, April 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Park Place Technologies, a leading global provider of data center and networking optimization solutions, has acquired Unitech’s third-party maintenance (TPM) business. The acquisition strengthens Park Place’s position as one of Brazil’s largest TPM providers, expanding its reach in the world’s fifth-largest country.

Combined Expertise for Enhanced Customer Service

Unitech, founded in 1989, has a long-standing reputation for serving a diverse client base, including major financial institutions, telecommunication and utility companies. Park Place’s global expertise will greatly amplify Unitech’s established presence in the Brazil market.

“Unitech and Park Place serve clients with the same core values. We both operate with a responsive, client-first approach, and communicate with clarity and transparency. We share customer service strategies, and have a native understanding of the Brazil TPM market,” said Unitech owner Ramon Hasky.

Hasky said Unitech’s long-term partnership with Park Place, “gives us confidence in how our clients will now be served. Park Place is a global company with a strong Latin American presence that offers more scale and an innovative IT lifecycle portfolio. Our customers will benefit from these added Managed Services and Professional Services offerings.”

Park Place, now one of Brazil’s furthest-reaching TPMs, will add nearly 20,000 Unitech assets to its already robust service legacy in Brazil.

“We are taking the hard-earned credibility of Unitech’s 30-plus years and leveraging our passion for client services with Park Place’s global resources,” said Unitech’s CEO, Claudio Miranda. “Unitech’s legacy now has an exciting new chapter; our people and our clients are in good hands with Park Place.”

Unitech will continue to independently operate its Hardware, Software and related Professional Services sales.

“Park Place operates in Brazil primarily in markets with a history of great relevance and positive expectations, particularly in the management, maintenance, and support of mission-critical hardware,” Luiz Fernando Monteiro, IDC Senior Market Analyst, IT Services, Brazil, said. “It is an operation focused on service lines that account for about 19% of the total service market in the country. These are essential services, especially in a world of IT distributed across internal infrastructures, own and third-party Data Centers, public and private clouds, with a demand for very high availability and resilience for the continuity of operations of companies across the entire Brazilian market.”

Roy Illsley, Chief Analyst for Omdia, said Omdia’s research shows that Brazil is a rapidly growing market for the data center business. “In fact, São Paulo accounts for 85% of new Data Center building in the country,” he said. “However, the current Data Center market in Brazil is mostly small sized Data Centers that are distributed between the major cities. Brazil, represents an ideal market for a vendor like Park Place as the growth in data centers will need skills to ensure they can operate efficiently and effectively, and technology vendors with services and solutions are a perfect fit.”

Chris Adams, Park Place Technologies President and CEO, said the company’s history of investing in people and resources globally will continue.

“We are committed to delivering a great experience to all our customers worldwide,” he said. “We will continue to acquire companies like Unitech that bring a talented workforce and unique capabilities driven by an unparalleled customer experience to our international partners.”
