In the first half of 2025 alone, 23 countries increased their gold reserves. Central banks are now on track to buy twice as much as the annual average seen in 2011–2021 for the 4th consecutive year. This comes after central banks already bought +1,080, +1,051, and +1,089 tonnes of gold in 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. 2025 puts central banks on track for their 16th consecutive annual purchase, the longest streak on record. Before 2010, central banks had been net sellers of gold for 21 years straight.
