📊 Key context: Official gold reserve figures can shift slightly due to central bank purchases, sales, valuation changes, and timing of reporting. However, the U.S. remains far ahead of all others, with Western Europe and major emerging economies like China, India, and Russia making up the next tiers of holders.
Gold reserves play a crucial role in national financial stability, acting as a hedge against inflation and currency risks and helping diversify foreign exchange holdings.
