Gold is good for you

Just a few years ago, central banks often reduced their gold reserves, but this has changed. Gold is more popular than ever, just look at the price trend. Around 2.7 trillion US dollars are hoarded by central banks today. Their reserves amount to around 12.3 trillion US dollars, according to the IMF. The reasons for this are concerns about financial crises, political risks, economic stability and inflation. The loss in value of the US dollar is also to be offset and currencies supported. The period of money printing has not done the value of many currencies any good. The USA has accumulated more than 35 trillion dollars in national debt. In absolute terms, this is the largest debt worldwide.

The fact that currencies have lost much of their value has prompted Russia and China in particular to buy gold aggressively. In recent years, these two countries have soaked up around half of the total tonnage of gold bought worldwide. The trend of central banks buying gold will continue, according to unanimous opinion. This is because gold is now also considered a strategic asset. Overall, central banks own around 17 percent of the gold ever mined. And this share is likely to increase, as geopolitical risks, so-called black swans, exist and may increase.

In contrast to paper money, gold and silver have an intrinsic value that can be relied upon. Hungary, for example, relies on gold, as it has the highest gold reserves per capita in Central and Eastern Europe with 110 tons. Qatar, Singapore, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, India, Turkey and India have also been particularly eager buyers of gold in recent years. The front runner is Russia. Private investors can also bet on the precious metal with the shares of gold companies. The producers Calibre Mining and Fortuna Mining would be a good choice.
