There's a tendency in history that each nation where the Jewish population had it's peak became wealthier, because Jewish merchants made the economy process faster due to their good sense of business skills. When the Kings became jealous of the Jewish wealth they've managed to ban "trading" or tax the local Jewish population therefore they moved to a new country, but the same time the ex-country of Jewish presence became poorer.
The Spanish and Portuguese kingdom has risen when it had the highest population of Sephardic/Marranos who managed most parts of the economy, by lending money to kings and manage foreign relations which covered most parts of the world.
