Since 2010, US wealth has jumped by 34% and that of the European Union by barely 21%

Omissions

• The figures refer to GDP growth (cumulative growth rate), not wealth/richesse which typically refers to net assets or household wealth
• The data covers the period 2010-2023, not up to 2026
• The Draghi report was published in September 2024
• The claim was made in March 2026, so the data cited (2010-2023) was already somewhat dated at the time of the speech
