National Bonds, the UAE’s leading Shariah-compliant savings and investment company, announced that in the first quarter of 2024 alone, 292 customers attained millionaire status through saving with National Bonds.
The company’s recent data highlights a noteworthy trend: the post-millennial generation in the UAE is emerging as a beacon of financial prudence, actively saving for their future and defying stereotypes. Bondholders from Gen Z (born 1997-2012) exhibit remarkable financial discipline, becoming the quickest to amass Dh1 million with an average duration of just 3.5 years, compared to the overall average of 4.2 years. Additionally, a commendable 34 per cent of this demographic continue to engage with National Bonds, further strengthening their financial security.
The UAE’s millionaire population has increased by 77 per cent since 2013 and is now home to 116,500 millionaires reflecting the nation’s commitment to fostering prosperity and financial growth. B
