[Summary sentence: results]

Total national wealth increased over the period with most wealth concentrated in the  household sector.

[Main points of the data:]

Total wealth generally followed the fortunes of household wealth, but only matched it in 2003/2004. Overall net worth grew from nearly £4000 billion in 2000 to nearly £7000 billion by 2010.

Household wealth grew from £4.5 billion  to £7 billion over the period despite a slight dip in 2008/2009. 

Government wealth contributed negligibly to UK net worth remaining almost static at well under £200 billion before tailing off after 2008 and showing no contribution in 2010. 

Business wealth displayed a marked contrast to household wealth. Of all the sectors it fared least well, being consistently in the red for the entire period to the tune of nearly -£1000 billion at times and demonstrating erratic variation from year to year.
