Hello, I'm a newbie. I just start and I have a wonder. How do wealth indices compare to income and consumption measures? Anyone can explain for me? Many thanks.

Can I ask if this index is accurate until 2025?

Not sure what you mean by "accurate". All I can say is that there are no plans to change the construction of the wealth index.
