Not only are central banks expected to continue buying gold over the next 12 months, but the precious metal is also attracting significantly more attention from the official sector than at any other time in the past decade, according to the latest survey from the World Gold Council.

 

"Roughly half of all global central banks participated in this year's survey," said Shaokai Fan, Global Head of Central Banks at the World Gold Council, in an interview with Kitco News. "The survey shows that central banks see the value in holding gold as a global reserve asset."

"The increase in participation is not just a number; it is a powerful signal of engagement with gold among the central banking community. These responses add depth to our insights into and understanding of gold's role within reserve management," the WGC stated in its report.

 

According to the report, 85% of respondents indicated that gold's performance during times of crisis is either highly or somewhat relevant to their organizations. Additionally, 81% highlighted gold's role as a portfolio diversifier, while 80% emphasized its function as a store of value.

Compared to last year's results, sentiment around gold holdings has seen a slight shift. In 2024, gold's "performance during times of crisis" was more prominently rated as relevant, while its role as a "long-term store of value" was more strongly emphasized in the previous year's survey.
