▪️The central banks increased the volume of gold purchases between 2021 and 2024 by more than two-fold.

▪️The share of gold in global gold and foreign exchange reserves grew from 12.9% in late 2021 to 15.3% at the end of 2023. By the end of 2024, it reached 18.4%. 

📍Forecasts 

▪️81% of the central bankers expect global gold reserves to increase over the next 12 months, a 2024 WGC poll showed.
