Africa’s Untapped $1T Gold Reserves Could Reshape Global Economics
Africa is estimated to hold over $5 trillion in gold resources, including $1 trillion+ in undeveloped gold reserves, a reservoir of wealth that could influence global reserve strategies and macroeconomic dynamics, reports Business Insider Africa.
• Huge latent potential: More than $1 trillion worth of gold remains untapped beneath the continent’s soil.
• Reserve strategy shift: As central banks worldwide increase bullion holdings amid currency volatility, Africa’s gold could help strengthen fiscal buffers.
• Economic reform examples: Countries like Ghana have used gold sector reforms to rebuild reserves and support currency stability.
Expert Insight:
If properly managed — with value addition and formalisation — Africa’s gold wealth could not only bolster national reserves, but also accelerate industrial growth and economic sovereignty across major mineral-rich nations.
