Daß die ZBs 2018 Gold in Rekordmenge gekauft haben, wurde schon berichtet. Eindrucksvoll aber, wie sich diese Entwicklung über mehrere Jahre vollzog bis zum Rekord der letzten 5 Jahrzehnte. Im eigenen Thread Rußland Gold ist deren Entwicklung nachzuvollziehen.
"Official gold purchases reached a new record in 2018 as central banks continued to diversify away from the U.S. Dollar. Not only was 2018 a banner year for central bank gold purchases, but it was also the highest amount for more than five decades. Central banks haven’t bought this much gold in one year since Nixon ended the convertibility of the U.S. Dollar into gold in 1971....
Now, since the 2008 global financial crisis, these eight central banks were the largest purchasers of gold:
From 2007 to 2018, Russia and China’s official gold purchases of 2,984 mt accounted for 75% of the group’s total (3,997 mt). As we can see, Kazakhstan was the third largest acquirer of gold reserves at 283 mt, followed by India (241 mt), Saudi Arabia (180 mt), Turkey (137 mt), South Korea (101 mt) and Thailand (70 mt).I believe central banks will continue to be net buyers of gold because it is one of the only assets that is not backed by debt..."
