World Gold Council: Nearly 43% of central banks plan to increase their gold reserves in the next year.

The "Global Central Bank Gold Reserve Survey 2025" released by the World Gold Council on June 17th shows that over 90% of the central banks surveyed believe that global central banks will continue to increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months. This percentage is the highest since the survey was first conducted on this issue in 2019, and it has increased by 17 percentage points compared to the 2024 survey results. The survey also found that nearly 43% of central banks plan to increase their gold reserves in the next year. Despite the repeated record highs in gold prices and the continuous net purchases of gold by central banks globally for 15 years, central banks still have a strong preference for gold.
