How it's used
This term is primarily found in political discourse, economic reports, or formal discussions regarding government strategy. It carries a sense of top down planning and national development rather than personal wealth accumulation. You will rarely hear it used in casual conversation about individual financial success.
Examples
The government is implementing policies, hoping to enrich the people.
Do policies to enrich the people really help the grassroots?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 搵錢 or 發達, which refer to individuals making money or getting rich. 富民 specifically describes a state level objective or policy goal.
