India and
china compete in buying gold..!?
Usually,
people are interested in buying gold. But recently, reserve banks of the world have been buying and accumulating gold. The reason for this is that
gold has become a very valuable asset. Central banks in each country buy tons of
gold and continuously increase their
gold reserves. Krishnan Gopal, senior analyst at the World
gold Council, said: The People's
bank of
china increased its
gold reserves by 5 tons in February. Following this, the
bank increased its
gold reserves by 10 tons in the first two months of 2025. The National
bank of
poland bought 29 tons of
gold last month. This is the largest monthly purchase by the
bank since
june 2019. Following this,
poland overtook
china to become the world's largest
gold buyer. As of now, Poland's National
bank has 480 tonnes of
gold reserves.
