How much gold is in the reserves of which country

Amidst global economic instability, inflation and geopolitical crises, the importance of gold as a safe haven asset has remained unchanged. Central banks around the world have been emphasizing gold as a large part of their reserves. According to the latest data from the World Gold Council and various international financial organizations, the United States holds the largest gold reserves in the world.

According to the data, the United States has 8,133.46 tons of gold, which is more than the combined reserves of the countries in second and third place. The top six countries on the list include Germany (3,355.14 tons), Italy (2,436.99 tons), France (2,436.38 tons), Russia (2,332.70 tons) and China (2,279.6 tons). It is particularly noteworthy that between 2019 and 2024, China alone added 331 tons of additional gold to its gold reserves.

Other notable countries include India (876.2 tonnes), Japan (846 tonnes), Turkey (595.4 tonnes) and Saudi Arabia (323.1 tonnes). The bulk of these countries' reserves have been accumulated since the Bretton Woods era of 1940 to 1970.

Bangladesh Bank's reserves hold only 14.8 tonnes of gold, which is relatively low globally. However, it is considered an important financial asset for the country, which helps maintain confidence in international trade and financial stability.

Due to the stability of gold prices despite the risks and uncertainties of the global economy, the country's central banks continue to keep it as one of the main assets in their reserves.
