Where does the most gold lie dormant?

China was the largest gold producer last year, responsible for about 330 tons of gold production, about twice as much as the U.S.! South Africa used to be the world’s largest gold producer, for more than 100 years, until 2007, but those days are over. The central bank with the largest gold reserves is the U.S., followed by Germany. At the German Bundesbank, around 70 percent of the currency reserves consist of gold.

For the individual investor, gold is one of the most important components of investment. If the fine ounce of gold cost an average of 1,824 U.S. dollars in 2022, the price currently stands at around 1,960 U.S. dollars per ounce. Compared to 2008, for example, gold is about three times as expensive today. Estimates of how much gold can still be mined put Australia in first place, followed by Russia. Incidentally, gold, calculated in Australian dollars, provided profits last year and so far this year. That’s when the Australian sovereign wealth fund also added gold to its portfolio. According to calculations, around 20 percent of global gold reserves are still dormant in Australia. Gold has also outperformed major assets there.

The metal has provided a return of seven percent in Australia. Also, for the second half of 2023, the chances for gold prices should not be bad. Positive for gold prices should be the central banks‘ hunger for gold, the growing interest in gold in China, and investors‘ confidence in gold as a safe haven. After all, gold is stable in value and inflation. This means that shares in gold companies such as Gold Terra Resource or Sierra Madre Gold and Silver are also of interest to investors.
