Central banks worldwide bought a record 458 tonnes of gold in the third quarter of 2022, as they looked for safe investment havens. Gold prices were relatively low during the end of 2022, making it easy for central banks to stock up gold reserves. Demand remained high in the first quarter of 2023, however. The United States, Germany, and Italy made up the top three of countries with the highest gold reserves in the world.

Total demand from central banks worldwide in gold from 1st quarter of 2010 to 2nd quarter of 2024
