🟡 **TOP 10 COUNTRIES BY GOLD RESERVES** – The World's Safe-Haven Stash!
Gold isn't just jewelry — it's a powerful backup for nations facing economic storms. Central banks hoard it for stability, liquidity, and trust when currencies wobble. Here's the latest ranking (as of late 2025 data from World Gold Council & reliable sources):
1. 🇺🇸 **United States** – 8,133 tonnes (the undisputed king, nearly as much as the next few combined!)
2. 🇩🇪 **Germany** – 3,351 tonnes
3. 🇮🇹 **Italy** – 2,452 tonnes
4. 🇫🇷 **France** – 2,437 tonnes
5. 🇷🇺 **Russia** – ~2,333 tonnes
6. 🇨🇳 **China** – ~2,300 tonnes (rapidly building up!)
7. 🇨🇭 **Switzerland** – 1,040 tonnes
8. 🇮🇳 **India** – ~880 tonnes (climbing steadily with recent additions)
9. 🇯🇵 **Japan** – ~846 tonnes
10. 🇳🇱 **Netherlands** or 🇹🇷 **Turkey** – around 600–635 tonnes (close contenders)
The U.S. dominates with massive holdings dating back decades, while emerging powers like China and India are stacking more to diversify away from dollars. Gold's timeless appeal? It can't be printed overnight.
