You know what they say about statistics, right?
There are lots of asterisks than you can put next to these numbers as every country has different habits and ways of accounting that strongly influence numbers like this. Private vs public assets etc.
If you look at _all_ the numbers (even those that don't fit your bias) rather than picking one you can see the story is entirely different.
