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).

رأس المال الخاص السعودي يركز بشكل متزايد على النمو الداخلي في عام 2024 وما بعده – تقرير Preqin

لندن, April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

نشرت شركة Preqin، الرائدة عالميًا في مجال البيانات والرؤى البديلة، تقريرًا بعنوان نهوض رأس المال الخاص في المملكة العربية السعودية.

يلخص التقرير إلى موضوعين رئيسيين يعززان مستقبل مكانة المملكة في مشهد رأس المال الخاص: الموضوع الأول هو تعزيز حكومة المملكة ومستثمريها وشركاتها للشراكات مع مدراء الصناديق من أجل توفير المزيد من المعارف وتطوير البنى التحتية والاستثمارات المشتركة في الدولة. ويرى مدراء الصناديق أن المملكة أصبحت الآن أكثر من مجرد موقع لجمع رأس مال المستثمرين. الموضوع الثاني هو إقبال المملكة على الاستثمارات الداخلية من خلال الأسواق الخاصة،

والتي تواصل النمو مع ريادة الأعمال الداخلية والفرص الاستثمارية.

الدور الجديد لرأس المال الخاص ومدراء الصناديق في المملكة

يحقق مشروع رؤية المملكة 2030 التي تقوده الحكومة هدف زيادة التنويع الاقتصادي والاجتماعي والثقافي في الوقت الذي تنتقل فيه المملكة لحقبة ما بعد “ذروة النفط”. وتمثل الأسواق الخاصة عنصرًا رئيسيًا لهذا الانتقال.

وعلى مدار ما يربو على 30 عامًا، أثبتت المملكة أنها واحدة من الوجهات الأكثر موثوقية لجمع رأس المال الخاص. لكن في عام 2024، ستعزز المملكة هذه العلاقة التاريخية مع مدراء الصناديق من خلال توطيد التعاون معهم بالتركيز على نشر رأس المال محليًا لتعزيز المشاريع الاقتصادية، ما يساهم في إنجاز المملكة لطموحات رؤية 2030.

لقد أدرك مدراء الصناديق أهمية استغلال مسار النمو الذي تشهده المملكة خلال السنوات الأخيرة. ففي الفترة بين 2018 ويناير 2024، تظهر بيانات Preqin أن عدد مدراء الصناديق في المملكة شهد زيادة بمعدل 213% أي ارتفع من 47 إلى 147 مدير صندوق.

الإقبال على الاستثمار الداخلي: حقوق الملكية الخاصة وصفقات رأس المال الجريء

وفي معرض تعليقه على هذه المناسبة، يقول ديفيد دوكينز، المؤلف الرئيسي للتقرير لدى Preqin: “تسعى المملكة العربية السعودية في عام 2024 بشكل متزايد إلى استخدام رأس المال الخاص لدعم فئة رواد الأعمال الناشئة في الدولة من أجل الاستعداد للحياة بعد عصر النفط. وفي سبيل المساعدة على بناء الأعمال المحلية وإيجاد فرص العمل للشباب، يسعى المستثمرون في المنطقة إلى التعاون مع مدراء المشاريع لنقل المعارف وتطوير البنية التحتية والاستثمار المشترك”.

بنهاية عام 2023، انغلقت الفجوة بشكل شبه تام بين عدد صفقات حقوق الملكية الخاصة وصفقات رأس المال الجريء التي أكملها المستثمرون السعوديون محليًا، مقارنة بالمستثمرين بالخارج. تم عقد 118 صفقة في المملكة و119 صفقة في الخارج، خلال عام 2023. وبالمقارنة، عقدت المملكة 100 صفقة حقوق ملكية خاصة ورأس مال جريء محليًا و151 صفقة بالخارج خلال عام 2022.

لقد أثبتت المملكة أنها نجم ساطع خلال “شتاء” رأس المال الجريء في الفترة من 2020 إلى 2023 حين تباطأت الصفقات على مستوى العالم. بلغت القيمة الإجمالية لصفقات رأس المال الجريء في المملكة 1.02 مليار دولار أمريكي في عام 2023، مرتفعة من 794 مليون دولار أمريكي في عام 2022.

تشمل الاستنتاجات الرئيسية الإضافية لتقرير نهوض رأس المال الخاص في المملكة العربية السعودية: دليل منطقة Preqin:

  • الاستثمارات المشتركة لرأس المال الجريء: تم عقد 47 صفقة رأسمال جريء بين مدراء الصناديق غير السعوديين والمستثمرين السعوديين في الفترة من 2018 إلى 2023. وقد تمت ثلاثة أرباع الصفقات تقريبًا، أي 34 صفقة من بين 47 صفقة في الفترة بين 2021 و2023، مما يبرز زخم هذا الاتجاه في عام 2024 وما بعده.
  • صفقات رأس المال الجريء البارزة: لقد أصبحت منصة تمارا المتخصصة في المدفوعات البنكية والتسوق، أول شركة مليارية متخصصة في التقنيات المالية بعد تأمين حصولها على 340 مليون دولار أمريكي في جولة تمويل حقوق ملكية من الفئة C في ديسمبر 2023.
  • عدد مدراء رأس المال الخاص الذين يركزون على السعودية: بنهاية عام 2021، كان هناك 131 مدير نشط يركز على نشر رأس المال في المملكة. وبحلول يناير 2024، بلغ عدد المدراء 276 مديراً، بما يمثل زيادة بنسبة 111% على مدار الفترة.

Saudi Arabian private capital increasingly focused on domestic growth in 2024 and beyond — Preqin reports

LONDON, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Preqin, the global leader in alternatives data and insights, has published The Rise of Private Capital in Saudi Arabia: Preqin Territory Guide report.

The report finds two key themes are driving the future of Saudi Arabia’s position in the private capital landscape: The first theme is Saudi Arabia’s government, investors, and corporates are fostering partnerships with fund managers to bring further knowledge, infrastructure development, and co–investment to the country. From fund managers’ perspectives, Saudi Arabia is now more than just a location for raising investor capital. The second theme is Saudi Arabian appetite for domestic investment through private markets, which continues to swell as home–grown entrepreneurialism, and so investment opportunities, burgeon.

New role for private capital and fund managers in Saudi Arabia

The government–led Saudi Vision 2030 project is fulfilling its purpose of increasing economic, social and cultural diversification as Saudi Arabia moves beyond its ‘peak–oil’ era. A key element of this transition is the private markets.

For over 30 years, Saudi Arabia has proved one of the world’s most reliable destinations for raising private capital. But in 2024, Saudi Arabia will elevate this historic relationship with fund managers through stronger collaboration with them, focusing on deploying capital domestically to advance economic projects. In turn, it is fulfilling its Saudi Vision 2030 ambitions.

Fund managers have recognized their opportunity to capitalize on Saudi Arabia’s growth trajectory in recent years. Between 2018 and January 2024, Preqin data shows that the number of Saudia Arabia–based fund managers increased by 213%, or from 47 to 147.

Appetite for domestic investment: Private equity and venture capital deals

David Dawkins, lead author of the report, at Preqin, says: “In 2024, Saudi Arabia is increasingly looking to use private capital to support the country's burgeoning entrepreneurial class in preparation for life after oil. To help build domestic businesses and create jobs for its young population, investors in the region are seeking to collaborate with fund managers on knowledge transfer, infrastructure development, and co–investment.”

By the end of 2023, the gap almost entirely closed between the number of private equity and venture capital deals that Saudi Arabian investors completed at home, compared to those overseas. 118 were completed in Saudi Arabia and 119 completed abroad, in 2023. In comparison, Saudi Arabia completed 100 private equity and venture capital deals domestically and 151 abroad, in 2022.

Saudi Arabia proved a sunny spot during the venture capital ‘winter’ of 2020 to 2023, where deal making slowed globally. Venture capital aggregate deal value in Saudi Arabia reached $1.02bn in 2023, rising from $794mn in 2022.

Additional key findings of The Rise of Private Capital in Saudi Arabia Preqin Territory Guide include: 

  • Venture capital co–investment: There were 47 venture capital deals between non–Saudi Arabian fund managers and Saudi Arabian investors from 2018 to 2023. Almost three quarters, or 34, of the 47 deals were made between 2021 and 2023, highlighting the momentum of this trend going into 2024 and beyond.
  • Notable venture capital deals: Tamara, a banking, payments, and shopping platform, became the Kingdom’s first fintech unicorn after securing $340mn in a Series C equity funding round in December 2023.
  • Number of Saudi Arabia–focused private capital managers: By the end of 2021, there were 131 active managers focused on capital deployment in Saudi Arabia. By January 2024, there were 276, representing a 111% increase over the period.

Global alternative assets remain resilient in 2023 amid economic uncertainty — Preqin Global Reports 2024

LONDON, Dec. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today Preqin, the global leader in alternative assets data, tools, and insights, published its Alternatives in 2024 report, part of the Preqin Global Reports 2024. The report provides analysis on trends on key factors and trends driving the alternative assets industry.

While 2023 is a year so far characterized by market headwinds and a challenging fundraising environment for investors and fund managers alike, Preqin analysts remain optimistic about the outlook for global alternative assets. For instance, private debt fundraising fared relatively well in comparison to other private capital asset classes, while secondaries deal flow should start to pick up going into 2024 as the market comes back into balance.

Cameron Joyce, Head of Private Equity, Research Insights at Preqin, says, "Amid the formidable headwinds marked by swiftly tightening monetary policy and economic uncertainty, alternative assets have remained comparatively resilient. The industry continues to evolve rapidly, and promising opportunities are presenting themselves in areas such as private debt and secondaries. We continue to forecast solid growth for the industry despite softening expectations around fundraising and performance."

Key highlights from each asset class:

Private equity faces a stern test:

The private equity market has been hampered by rising interest rates "" which have weighed on deal activity "" and a constrained exit environment. Dealmakers are hoping for an increase in activity during 2024 and long–term investor appetite remains strong.

Venture capital investor sentiment on performance improves:

Venture capital returns have been challenged by factors such as the poor exit environment, elevated asset valuations, and climbing interest rates. Noting this, our latest investor survey shows that investors' outlook is shifting, and they are comparatively more positive on the performance of the asset class over the next 12 months.

Private debt fundraising holds up:

Private debt's floating–rate structure and seniority in the capital stack are especially attractive for investors seeking more defensive assets in challenging conditions, with strategies such as mezzanine debt growing in popularity.

Hedge funds' AUM rises despite net outflows:

Hedge funds' AUM growth has been driven primarily by asset returns and not inflows and outflows. In fact, hedge fund returns during months of market volatility proved that they can be effective in providing investors with downside protection. Niche strategies such as cryptocurrencies and insurance–linked securities (ILS) gained prominence due to their low public market correlation.

Real estate under pressure:

Rising interest rates have weighed on investment sentiment, resulting in weaker fundraising and deal activity. As investors flock toward larger funds in search of a sense of security, fundraising has been even more challenging for first–time and smaller funds.

Infrastructure may be turning a corner:

Fundraising fell sharply in 2023, a significant reversal after fund managers amassed record sums in 2022. But third–quarter deal activity proved robust and tailwinds from energy transition will continue to underpin the long–term growth of unlisted infrastructure.

Dans un contexte de polarisation des tendances mondiales, les écoles de commerce américaines connaissent une recrudescence de la demande intérieure

RESTON, État de Virginie, 27 oct. 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le nombre total de candidatures des programmes d'coles de commerce en 2023 a baiss d'environ cinq pour cent dans le monde entier. Toutefois, selon l'enqute annuelle publie aujourd'hui par le Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), davantage de programmes par rapport l'anne dernire ont fait tat d'une augmentation de leurs candidatures, ce qui indique que le recul des candidatures n'a pas affect tous les programmes de manire homogne, Le GMAC, une association mondiale reprsentant les plus grandes coles de commerce, a publi les rsultats de l'enqute 2023 afin de fournir des donnes et des rflexions qui permettront de mieux comprendre les tendances actuelles des candidatures aux programmes d'enseignement suprieur en gestion (GME).

La baisse des candidatures concerne principalement les programmes plus slectifs, ce qui a entran une diminution du nombre total de candidatures au niveau mondial, tandis que les programmes moins slectifs ont enregistr une augmentation du nombre de candidatures. De nombreux candidats sont toujours intresss par les programmes traditionnels et comptitifs temps plein. Toutefois, les options en ligne, hybrides ou les cours du soir sont beaucoup plus susceptibles de connatre une augmentation du nombre de candidatures. Il est intressant de noter que les candidats qui choisissent les programmes les mieux classs ne recherchent pas ncessairement la mme flexibilit que les autres, mais de nombreux candidats sont davantage prts sacrifier le prestige d'un programme pour gagner en flexibilit.

Alors que les tendances post–pandmie dans le monde du travail et les prfrences en matire d'offres acadmiques continuent d'voluer, la communaut des coles de commerce dans son ensemble s'adapte rapidement , a dclar Joy Jones, PDG du GMAC. Qu'il s'agisse des programmes octroyant une licence, des nouveaux certificats, en passant par les concentrations, la formation des cadres et les micro–crdits, il existe une multitude d'options susceptibles d'intresser un grand nombre de candidats, quelle que soit leur situation professionnelle ou personnelle. Cela tmoigne de la faon dont les coles de commerce relvent le dfi consistant rpondre aux besoins des candidats aux coles de commerce d'aujourd'hui, qui bnficieront sans nul doute d'une formation suprieure dans le domaine des affaires.

Autres rsultats importants :

Les tendances amricaines et rgionales refltent l'volution des candidatures nationales et internationales.

Bien que la flexibilit des mthodes d'enseignement ait jou un rle important comme moteur des tendances mondiales en matire de candidatures, aux tats–Unis, la configuration internationale et nationale du volume des programmes s'est avre tre le principal vecteur de la croissance observe dans les programmes GME. Aprs plusieurs annes difficiles pour le secteur national, en particulier aprs la stabilisation des candidatures la suite de la pandmie, les programmes amricains ont enregistr une croissance des candidatures nationales au lieu d'une baisse en 2023. En effet, outre l'augmentation observe en 2020 en raison de la pandmie, le nombre de programmes amricains faisant tat d'une augmentation du nombre de dossiers de candidature a atteint son plus haut niveau depuis dix ans pour ce qui est des candidatures nationales.

Bien que plus de la moiti des programmes amricains aient connu une croissance malgr une lgre baisse du nombre total de candidatures, les programmes d'Europe, d'Asie et des les du Pacifique n'ont pas eu la mme chance. La plupart des programmes europens ont t confronts une baisse des candidatures au cours des trois dernires annes, ce qui s'est traduit par une chute importante (13 %) du nombre total de candidatures internationales en 2023. Les programmes d'Asie et des les du Pacifique ont galement connu deux annes conscutives de baisse relative du nombre de candidatures, avec toutefois une baisse marque (8 %) du nombre total de candidatures nationales en 2023.

Les candidatures chez les femmes continuent de stagner, quels que soient le type de cursus et la rgion.

Au cours des cinq dernires annes, la part des candidatures fminines aux tats–Unis, en Europe, en Asie, dans les les du Pacifique, au Canada et en Amrique latine a fluctu autour de deux cinquimes. Mme si l'enqute du GMAC sur les futurs tudiants indique que les femmes ont tendance tre plus intresses par les programmes flexibles, en ligne et hybrides, la part des femmes qui postulent des programmes en ligne, hybrides, le week–end et le soir reprsente toujours environ deux cinquimes. La proportion de femmes candidates au MBA pour cadres reste une lueur d'espoir. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un pourcentage relativement faible de 32 %, la plupart de ces programmes ont affich une augmentation du nombre de candidatures fminines en 2023.

C'est encourageant de voir que davantage de femmes occupant des postes de cadres se tournent vers une formation commerciale pousse qui peut les aider renforcer leur rle de leaders sur le lieu de travail , a dclar Ana Mara Zermeo Padilla, directrice de l'exprience acadmique et des oprations de l'cole de commerce EGADE Tecnolgico de Monterrey et membre du conseil d'administration du GMAC. Il reste encore beaucoup faire pour inciter les femmes, en particulier celles qui sont au dbut de leur carrire, tirer parti de ce que peuvent offrir les diplmes d'tudes suprieures en gestion, notamment ceux qui comportent des modules en ligne et flexibles.

Les candidatures des populations amricaines sous–reprsentes ont atteint un niveau record aprs la pandmie et dpassent les niveaux d'avant la pandmie.

Depuis 2014, la plupart des programmes GME amricains ont connu une stabilit ou une croissance des candidatures des populations amricaines sous–reprsentes. l'instar des tendances gnrales observes aux tats–Unis et dans le monde, les candidatures de ces candidats ont augment paralllement la pandmie jusqu'en 2021 et 2022, priode laquelle la majorit des programmes ont enregistr une baisse des candidatures alors que les augmentations lies la pandmie s'taient stabilises. Les rsultats de l'enqute de cette anne montrent toutefois que 47 % des programmes amricains ont connu une augmentation du nombre de candidatures des populations amricaines sous–reprsentes, ce qui correspond un rebond de 18 points par rapport au niveau le plus bas des dix dernires annes, atteint en 2022, et un niveau encore plus lev par rapport aux annes prcdant la pandmie.

Suite l'arrt de la Cour suprme des tats–Unis sur les admissions fondes sur la race, les coles de commerce revoient leurs efforts en matire de recrutement et leurs stratgies d'admission afin de continuer intgrer un corps tudiant qui reflte la diversit du pays et de leur bassin de candidats , a dclar Sabrina White, vice–prsidente de l'engagement des coles et du secteur d'activit chez GMAC. Alors que la communaut des coles de commerce se prpare des changements imminents dans la manire dont les programmes amricains valuent l'exprience des candidats issus de minorits raciales et ethniques, nous esprons que le partage des donnes recueillies par les coles au cours de la dernire dcennie servira de base l'valuation de l'efficacit, ou de l'inefficacit, des efforts dploys l'heure actuelle.

Amidst Polarizing Global Trends, U.S. B Schools Experience Domestic Demand Rebound

RESTON, Va., Oct. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Across the globe, total applications to graduate business school programs in 2023 dipped by approximately five percent. However, more programs than last year reported growth in their applications""indicating that the drop in applications was not felt evenly, according to an annual survey released today by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). GMAC, a global association representing leading business schools, published findings from the 2023 survey results to provide data and insights to better understand current trends in applications to graduate management education (GME) programs.

Specifically, the decline in applications have centered around those to more selective programs, driving a dip in total global applications while their somewhat selective counterparts reported growth in their applications. Many candidates are still interested in more traditional, competitive full–time programs, but online, hybrid, or evening options were much more likely to report application growth. Interestingly, applicants seeking out top–ranked programs may not necessarily be looking for the same flexibility as the others, but many candidates are more willing to sacrifice prestige for flexibility.

"As post–pandemic attitudes toward work continue shifting and preferences for educational offerings continue evolving, the business school community as a whole is quickly adapting," said Joy Jones, CEO of GMAC. "From degreed programs to new certificates, concentrations, executive education, and micro–credentials, there is a wealth of options appealing to a wide spectrum of candidates in different stages of career and life. It serves as a testament to how business schools rise to the challenge to meet the needs of today's business school aspirants who will undoubtedly benefit from graduate business education."

Other Key Findings:

U.S. and regional trends reflect shifts in international and domestic applications.

While flexibility in delivery methods played an important role in driving the global application trends, in the United States, the international and domestic compositions of program volume turned out to be the key drivers behind the growth seen among their GME programs. After several challenging years with the domestic pipeline""especially after applications leveled off following the pandemic""more U.S. programs reported growth in domestic applications than declines in 2023. In fact, besides the increase seen in 2020 related to the pandemic, the number of U.S. programs reporting application growth reached a decade–long high in domestic applications.

While more than half of the programs in the U.S. experienced growth despite a small dip in overall applications, their counterparts in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Islands were not as fortunate. Most European programs have faced declining applications over the past three years, with a significant drop (13 percent) in total international applications in 2023. Similarly, programs in Asia and the Pacific Islands have experienced two years of relative application declines, but with a pronounced drop (8 percent) in total domestic applications in 2023.

Applications among women continue to stagnate across degree types and regions.

Over the past five years, the share of female applicants in the U.S., Europe, Asia, the Pacific Islands, Canada and Latin America has hovered around two–fifths. Even though GMAC's Prospective Students Survey indicates that women tend to be more interested in flexible, online, and hybrid programs, the share of women applying to online, hybrid, weekend, and evening programs is still roughly two–fifths. One silver lining lies in the share of women applicants in the executive MBA. While it is comparatively smallest at 32 percent, most of these programs saw growth in their applications from female candidates in 2023.

"It is encouraging to see more women in executive positions pursue advanced business education that could help strengthen them as leaders in the workplace," said Ana Mara Zermeo Padilla, director of academic experience and operations of EGADE Business School at Tecnolgico de Monterrey and a GMAC Board member. "There is still much work to be done to appeal to women, especially those earlier in their careers, to take advantage of what graduate business degrees, particularly those with online and flexible modules, could offer."

Applications from underrepresented U.S. populations hit post–pandemic peak and top pre–pandemic levels.

Since 2014, most U.S. GME programs reported either stability or growth in their applications from underrepresented U.S. populations. Similar to broader U.S. and global trends, applications from these candidates surged alongside the pandemic until 2021 and 2022 when a majority of programs reported declines in applications as the pandemic–related increases leveled off. This year's survey result, however, shows that 47 percent of U.S. programs reported growth in applications from underrepresented U.S. populations, rebounding by a whopping 18 percentage point from a 10–year low in 2022 and even higher than the pre–pandemic years.

"In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on race–conscious admissions, business schools are reexamining their recruitment efforts and admissions strategies to continue enrolling a student body that reflects the diversity of the country and their pool of applicants," said Sabrina White, vice president of school and industry engagement at GMAC. "As the graduate business school community prepares for impending shifts in how U.S. programs evaluate the experiences of applicants from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, we hope sharing the data reported by schools over the past decade can help serve as a foundation for how current efforts have "" or have not "" been effective."

About the Survey

GMAC's Applications Trends Survey is the largest and most widely cited survey of its kind, serving the graduate management education community for the past quarter of a century. The 2023 survey collected data on applications received by GME programs for the 2023–2024 academic year. Between June and August, 893 programs at 247 business schools worldwide provided responses. Participating programs are located in 32 countries, including 37 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, and reflect the growing diversity of global GME offerings. The total sample includes 413 MBA programs, 456 business master's programs, five postgraduate programs (PGP), and 19 doctoral programs. More details about this year's participating programs can be found in the participant profile section of the report.

Inmitten polarisierender globaler Trends erleben US-Business Schools Erholung der Inlandsnachfrage

RESTON, Virginia, Oct. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Weltweit ist die Zahl der Bewerbungen um einen Studienplatz an einer Business School im Jahr 2023 um etwa fnf Prozent gesunken. Allerdings meldeten mehr Studiengnge als im letzten Jahr einen Anstieg der Bewerbungen, was darauf hindeutet, dass sich der Rckgang der Bewerbungen nicht gleichmig auswirkt, wie aus einer jhrlichen Umfrage hervorgeht, die heute vom Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) verffentlicht wurde. GMAC, ein globaler Verband, der fhrende Business Schools vertritt, hat die Ergebnisse der Umfrage 2023 verffentlicht, um Daten und Einblicke fr ein besseres Verstndnis der aktuellen Trends bei Bewerbungen fr Graduate Management Education (GME)–Studiengnge zu liefern.

Der Rckgang der Bewerbungen konzentrierte sich vor allem auf die Bewerbungen fr selektivere Studiengnge und fhrte zu einem Rckgang der Bewerbungen insgesamt, whrend die Bewerbungen fr weniger selektive Studiengnge zunahmen. Viele Bewerberinnen und Bewerber sind nach wie vor an traditionellen, wettbewerbsorientierten Vollzeitstudiengngen interessiert, aber Online–, Hybrid– und Abendstudiengnge verzeichneten sehr viel hufiger eine Zunahme der Bewerbungen. Interessanterweise suchen Bewerberinnen und Bewerber, die sich fr die besten Studiengnge entscheiden, nicht unbedingt die gleiche Flexibilitt wie die anderen, aber viele Kandidaten sind eher bereit, Prestige fr Flexibilitt zu opfern.

"Im Zuge der anhaltenden Vernderungen in der Einstellung zur Arbeit nach der Pandemie und der sich wandelnden Bildungsprferenzen passt sich die Business School–Gemeinschaft als Ganzes schnell an", so Joy Jones, CEO von GMAC. "Von Studiengngen mit Abschluss bis hin zu neuen Zertifikaten, Studienschwerpunkten, Weiterbildungsangeboten fr Fhrungskrfte und Mikrodiplomen gibt es eine Vielzahl von Optionen, die ein breites Spektrum von Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten in unterschiedlichen Karriere– und Lebensphasen ansprechen. Es ist ein Beweis dafr, wie die Business Schools die Herausforderung annehmen, um den Bedrfnissen der heutigen Studienanwrterinnen und –anwrtern gerecht zu werden, die zweifellos von einer akademischen Wirtschaftsausbildung profitieren werden."

Weitere wichtige Ergebnisse:

Die Trends in den USA und in den Regionen spiegeln Verschiebungen bei den internationalen und nationalen Bewerbungen wider.

Whrend die Flexibilitt der Ausbildungsmethoden eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entwicklung der weltweiten Bewerbungstrends spielte, erwiesen sich in den Vereinigten Staaten die internationale und nationale Zusammensetzung des Studiengangvolumens als die wichtigsten Faktoren fr das Wachstum der GME–Studiengnge. Nach mehreren schwierigen Jahren fr die inlndische Pipeline "" insbesondere nach dem Rckgang der Bewerbungen nach der Pandemie "" verzeichneten 2023 mehr US–Studiengnge einen Anstieg der inlndischen Bewerbungen als einen Rckgang. Neben dem Anstieg im Jahr 2020 im Zusammenhang mit der Pandemie erreichte die Zahl der US–Studiengnge, die einen Anstieg der Bewerbungen meldeten, den hchsten Stand seit zehn Jahren.

Whrend mehr als die Hlfte der Studiengnge in den USA trotz eines leichten Rckgangs der Gesamtzahl der Bewerbungen ein Wachstum verzeichneten, hatten die Studiengnge in Europa, Asien und auf den Pazifischen Inseln weniger Glck. Die meisten europischen Studiengnge hatten in den letzten drei Jahren mit einem Rckgang der Bewerbungen zu kmpfen, wobei die Gesamtzahl der internationalen Bewerbungen im Jahr 2023 deutlich (13 Prozent) abnahm. Studiengnge in Asien und auf den Pazifischen Inseln verzeichneten in den letzten zwei Jahren ebenfalls einen relativen Rckgang der Bewerbungen, allerdings mit einem deutlichen Rckgang (8 Prozent) der gesamten inlndischen Bewerbungen im Jahr 2023.

Die Zahl der Bewerbungen von Frauen stagniert weiterhin in allen Studiengngen und Regionen.

In den letzten fnf Jahren lag der Anteil der Bewerberinnen in den USA, Europa, Asien, den Pazifischen Inseln, Kanada und Lateinamerika bei etwa zwei Fnfteln. Auch wenn die GMAC–Umfrage unter Studieninteressierten zeigt, dass Frauen eher an flexiblen, Online– und Hybrid–Studiengngen interessiert sind, liegt der Anteil der Frauen, die sich fr Online–, Hybrid–, Wochenend– und Abendstudiengnge bewerben, immer noch bei etwa zwei Fnfteln. Ein Lichtblick ist der Frauenanteil bei den Bewerbungen fr den Executive MBA–Studiengang. Obwohl der Anteil mit 32 Prozent vergleichsweise gering ist, verzeichneten die meisten dieser Studiengnge im Jahr 2023 einen Anstieg der Bewerbungen von Frauen.

"Es ist ermutigend zu sehen, dass mehr Frauen in Fhrungspositionen eine fortgeschrittene betriebswirtschaftliche Ausbildung absolvieren, die sie als Fhrungskrfte am Arbeitsplatz strken kann", so Ana Mara Zermeo Padilla, Direktorin fr akademische Erfahrung und Betrieb der EGADE Business School am Tecnolgico de Monterrey und Mitglied des GMAC–Vorstands. "Es muss noch viel getan werden, um Frauen, vor allem diejenigen, die am Anfang ihrer beruflichen Laufbahn stehen, dafr zu gewinnen, die Vorteile eines Hochschulabschlusses in Wirtschaftswissenschaften zu nutzen, insbesondere solcher Abschlsse, die online und mit flexiblen Modulen angeboten werden."

Bewerbungen aus unterreprsentierten Bevlkerungsgruppen in den USA erreichten nach der Pandemie einen Hchststand und bertrafen das Niveau vor der Pandemie.

Seit 2014 meldeten die meisten GME–Studiengnge in den USA entweder eine gleichbleibende oder steigende Zahl von Bewerbungen aus unterreprsentierten Bevlkerungsgruppen in den USA. hnlich wie die allgemeinen Trends in den USA und weltweit stiegen die Bewerbungen dieser Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten parallel zur Pandemie an, bis 2021 und 2022 die Mehrheit der Studiengnge einen Rckgang der Bewerbungen meldete, da sich der pandemiebedingte Anstieg abschwchte. Die diesjhrige Umfrage zeigt jedoch, dass 47 Prozent der Studiengnge in den USA einen Anstieg der Bewerbungen aus unterreprsentierten Bevlkerungsgruppen meldeten, was nach einem 10–Jahres–Tief im Jahr 2022 einem Zuwachs von 18 Prozentpunkten entspricht und sogar hher ist als in den Jahren vor der Pandemie.

"Nach dem Urteil des Obersten Gerichtshofs der USA zur ethnisch sensiblen Zulassung berprfen die Business Schools ihre Rekrutierungsbemhungen und Zulassungsstrategien, um weiterhin eine Studentenschaft zu rekrutieren, die die Vielfalt des Landes und ihres Bewerberpools widerspiegelt", so Sabrina White, Vice President of School and Industry Engagement bei GMAC. "Whrend sich die Business School–Gemeinschaft auf die bevorstehenden Vernderungen in der Art und Weise vorbereitet, wie US–Studiengnge die Erfahrungen von Bewerbern mit unterreprsentiertem ethnischem Hintergrund bewerten, hoffen wir, dass der Austausch von Daten, die von den Schulen in den letzten zehn Jahren gemeldet wurden, als Grundlage dafr dienen kann, wie effektiv die derzeitigen Bemhungen waren "" oder nicht waren."

ber die Umfrage

Die Umfrage zu Bewerbungstrends des GMAC ist die grte und meistzitierte Umfrage ihrer Art, die seit einem Vierteljahrhundert die Gemeinschaft der Hochschulabsolventen im Managementbereich bedient. Im Rahmen der Erhebung 2023 wurden Daten zu den Bewerbungen fr GME–Studiengnge fr das akademische Jahr 2023–2024 erfasst. Zwischen Juni und August haben 893 Studiengnge an 247 Business Schools weltweit Antworten abgegeben. Die teilnehmenden Studiengnge befinden sich in 32 Lndern, einschlielich 37 US–Bundesstaaten und dem District of Columbia, und spiegeln die wachsende Vielfalt des globalen GME–Angebots wider. Die Gesamtstichprobe umfasst 413 MBA–Programme, 456 Business–Master–Programme, fnf Postgraduierten–Programme (PGP) und 19 Doktorandenprogramme. Weitere Einzelheiten zu den diesjhrigen teilnehmenden Studiengngen finden Sie im Abschnitt Teilnehmerprofil des Berichts.

New Study: Failing Global Debt System Costs Lives

New York, June 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New research supported by the Open Society Foundations shows that increasing delays in resolving sovereign debt crises in some of the world's poorest countries are significantly adding to the human cost of defaults""cutting economic growth, reducing life–expectancy, and worsening child mortality rates.

The analysis, The Human Costs of the Failing Global Debt System, builds on research published last year that showed how going into default leads to economic and human damage that worsens over subsequent years.

Sovereign debt defaults occur when countries fail to pay their debts on time. This can be interest or principal payments to domestic or international creditors. This typically forces a renegotiation of lending terms. The research looked at data from 131 sovereign debt defaults around the world since 1900.

The new paper's authors, economists Clemens Graf von Luckner and Juan P. Farah–Yacoub, conclude that, in addition, the longer it takes a country to reach a new agreement with its creditors, the greater the increase in human costs:

  • When a country's debt crisis is resolved in less than three years, infant mortality ten years after a default is declared as 2.2 percentage points higher than would have been expected. But when the default continues for more than three years, the difference rises to a staggering 11.4 percentage points higher.
  • For the countries studied, on average, life expectancy ten years after default drops by more than one year relative to where it would have been without the default.
  • In addition, the shortfall in the rate of increase in real economic output per capita (against what it could have been without default), jumps by 2.5 percentage points in the first year of default, against what it would have been had there been no default. It then continues to grow by 1.5 percentage point on average each year thereafter. Over a decade the gap grows to roughly 14.5 percentage points.

The findings underline the grave damage being caused by the failure of the existing global financial system to deliver prompt resolution to countries in default due in part to the involvement of an increasingly complex mix of creditors""including international financial institutions such as development banks, commercial banks, sovereign lenders including China, and private commercial creditors.

The report also highlights the case of Zambia, which defaulted on its external debt in November 2020 under the economic strains of the Covid pandemic. It has yet to secure a comprehensive debt agreement among all of its public and private creditors and the International Monetary Fund, with its total debt now estimated at over $18 billion.

The authors of this new report calculated that, based on a calculation using Zambia's birth rates in 2016, the country's current debt default would result in an additional 3,079 annual deaths of infants before their first birthdays by the year 2030, if the default is prolonged further.

Mark Malloch–Brown, president of the Open Society Foundations, said: "The findings here starkly illustrate how a dysfunctional global financial system is causing tragic but entirely avoidable human suffering. The leaders meeting in Paris need to commit to the urgent reforms the world needs to face both deepening poverty and the worsening climate crisis."

The Open Society Foundations, together with a broad range of civil society groups, are pushing for the leaders gathered at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in Paris to commit to policies that will significantly reform the international debt restructuring process to allow for a just and sustainable resolution to a country's default delivered in a timely manner. These steps include:

  1. States establishing a clear process with firm timetables for getting agreement to "cure" defaults""no more three years in limbo like Zambia.
  2. The IMF must more aggressively use its authority to "lend into arrears"""which means they can launch their funding support program to indebted countries even if some creditors refuse to accept new debt relief terms. These hold out creditors loans would not get paid, but everyone else participating does.
  3. Private creditors (including sovereign bond holders) should not be allowed to refuse to accept debt settlements that creditor countries agree to, and then expect to be paid with the benefits of that relief, or to use the courts to get full repayment. In the United States, the New York State legislature has before it legislation that would end this practice.
  4. The International Financial Institutions need significantly more funding from the Global North to give them the resources needed to properly fund recovery from defaults and allow the economic growth needed to avoid defaults in the future.
