Iraq and other world's largest gold buyers in 2018
The World Gold Council said Turkey was among the world's top gold buyers to boost its yellow reserves in 2018.

In a report, the center added that the Turkish central bank added 51.5 tons of gold last year, according to CNBC.

This was the second-largest increase in gold purchases for the second consecutive year since 2017.

Overall gold purchases, bought by central banks around the world, were recorded in 2018, the second highest since US President Richard Nixon's decision to end the peg to the bulls in 1971.

Net central bank purchases reached 651.5 tonnes in 2018, an increase of 74 percent over the previous year when 375 tonnes were purchased.

The World Gold Council estimated that central banks now have about 34,000 tons of gold.

In the context, the report said that the Russian central bank sold almost all of its share in US Treasury bonds to buy 274.3 tons of gold in 2018.

Kazakhstan, India, Iraq, Poland and Hungary were also among the major gold buyers last year.

According to the report, the US Federal Reserve maintains the largest amount, equivalent to three quarters of the foreign exchange reserves in the country.

"Increasing geopolitical and economic uncertainty throughout the year has prompted central banks to diversify their reserves and refocus their attention on the primary objective of investing in safe and liquid assets," the report said.

Why Central Banks buy gold?

- To manage risk and promote stability 

- To hedge against a sagging Dollar 

- As an inflation hedge 

- Because they’re uncertain 

 

Iraq 96.3 Tons of gold = $6.2 billion dollars or 7.3 trillion IQD 

 

Go gold reserves 

Go Growth 

Go RV

Go $1:1

Thanks for your input my climber,

I don’t know the answer to your question. I think it’s irrelevant. 

What is relevant is that the CBI continues buying gold and the gold reserves 

are growing and the foreign currency reserves too.

 

This is very good news for our investment.

 Thanks for your comment LB

 I agree with you that it is probably good for our investment but I would still like to know  where they are getting all the gold because someone is selling them the gold and what are they getting in return for the gold they are giving to Iraq?

 

 It’s just a personal thing with me that I like to try and see the bigger picture of things. Have a great week!

What currency are they buying it with? Is the bigger question, than who are buying it from in my mind!

Chabo1,

Iraq increased reserves last year by 6.45 tons, bringing the total gold holdings to 96.3

Tons. "The report said that «Iraq reserves amounted to the end of the third quarter of 2018 about 96.3 tons, plus $62 billion dollars in foreign currency reserves.

 

All this gold and foreign currency reserves are to backup the new value of the

iraqi dinar in the near future.

 

Go CBI

Go gold reserves 

Go foreign currency reserves 

Go real value 

Go purchasing power
