In recent months, a striking trend has emerged: central banks around the world—including China, India, Turkey, Russia, and even some European nations—are rapidly increasing their gold reserves. This surge is part of a broader effort known as global de-dollarization, aiming to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar in international trade.
According to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased over 290 tons of gold in the first quarter of 2025 alone, setting a new record. This wave of gold buying has pushed gold prices upward and signals deeper shifts in the global economic order.
🔸 Why This Matters:
These moves could gradually weaken the dominance of the U.S. dollar, reshape investment strategies, and redefine economic power dynamics. Retail investors are also paying closer attention to gold as a safe-haven asset.
