Gold reserves play a pivotal role in ensuring the economic resilience of a country, serving as a dependable asset during periods of financial instability.
During the late 19th and much of the 20th century, the gold standard was a prevailing global practice.
Under this system, countries pegged the value of their paper currency to gold by setting a fixed exchange rate between their currency and a defined quantity of gold.
Gold holds significance in central bank reserves due to its attributes of safety, liquidity, and return, which align with the primary investment objectives of central banks.
