The net wealth of Irish households increased by nearly €48.3bn during the third quarter of 2025 driven largely by the increasing value of housing assets, data from the Central Bank of Ireland shows.

As of the end of September last year, the net wealth of Irish households reached just over €1.3 trillion.
