70 central banks were surveyed. Almost a third of them plan to increase their gold reserves in the next twelve months. And this despite high gold prices and after two years of record purchases by central banks. None of the central banks surveyed anticipate a decline in gold reserves. The survey reflects the highest level of confidence since the survey began in 2019. Central banks see gold as a hedge against political and economic uncertainties. This is because gold performs well in times of crisis, ensures long-term value retention, protects against inflation and diversifies investment assets. Gold also has high liquidity and there is no risk of default. And it is not only the central banks of emerging and developing countries that are increasingly turning to gold. The central banks of the advanced economies, namely 57 percent, assume that gold will account for a larger share of reserves in five years‘ time. Last year, only 38 percent shared this opinion. At the same time, the number of central banks that see the US dollar’s share of global reserves falling is increasing.

According to the World Gold Council, eight central banks bought gold in April, 33 tons in total. Turkey (eight tons), Poland, India and Kazakhstan were particularly eager. China held back somewhat, but it should be noted that in addition to the reported gold purchases, there were probably also purchases that were not reported. Incidentally, gold ETF holdings rose in May for the first time in a month in a year. Private investors should also put their trust in gold and familiarize themselves with companies such as Osisko Development or Sierra Madre Gold and Silver.
