In May, central banks significantly increased their gold purchases, with net buying reaching 41 tonnes, the second-highest this year after February. Poland led the buyers with 18 tonnes, followed by China with 10 tonnes, while Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Singapore also made notable purchases. Despite recent gold price declines due to geopolitical tensions, most central bankers remain optimistic about increasing gold reserves, with 89% expecting global reserves to grow in the next year. This trend highlights continued confidence in gold as a strategic reserve asset amid global uncertainties.
