The rich will continue to get richer, says BCG's global wealth report.
Private wealth in India will more than double to $4.5 trillion by 2017, from $2 trillion at the end of 2012, according to consultancy firm BCG.
As much as 65 per cent or $1.3 trillion of the wealth is in the form of cash and deposits, while investments in bonds account for 21 per cent and equities account for 13 per cent, said the report.
