POSTED ON 2019-02-04 BY SOTALIRAQ 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
