The 10 countries with the most gold reserves: where are they keeping all this treasure?
Gold. A fascinating metal that has served as a medium of exchange for centuries. Paper money? It used to be expressed in gold. The gold standard dominated.
In addition to its monetary value, gold shines in various sectors. Pharmacy. Jewelry. Electronics. Investors rush to it when they fear inflation. Or recession. A brilliant protection.
International trade has created the need for reserves in countries. Economic reasons. Political reasons as well. No one needs to back their coin with gold anymore, it seems somewhat outdated even. But governments? They continue to accumulate. Hyperinflation is frightening. Geopolitical risks as well.
Where did they hide all this gold?
Central banks store the precious metal underground. Maximum security. Not just anyone can enter, you know? Ultra-protected facilities. Only authorized personnel can gain access.
Why this obsession with more gold?
Protection of the national coin. Minimization of risks. The gold reserves are like a business card of national wealth.
In recent years, something interesting has kind of happened. Countries diversified their funds. Global economic turbulence caused this. Gold purchases have increased. Constantly. The share of gold in total reserves? It has risen.
The 10 giants of gold reserves
Inflation is rising. Geopolitical tensions are also increasing. Interest in gold has skyrocketed. Everyone wants to know who has how much. In times of possible recession, looking at central banks has become a kind of compass for investors.
