Gold Reserves by Country

Introduction

Gold has been used as a currency since ancient times, and even in our modern world still holds considerable value for banks and economies alike. Gold is inherently valuable because of its scarcity, and is often used by banks to guarantee the value of paper money. It acts as a guarantee to depositors and note holders that their money has value behind it and can be used as tradable currency. They are amassed by governments to fund expenses such as waging war and counteract rising costs due to inflation. 

Possession of a gold reserve and its export or import can be a finicky business, as while they are useful for counteracting inflation, exporting too much could cause the value of the local currency to collapse. Therefore it is necessary for countries to maintain a gold reserve so as to monitor and regulate the value of their currency in times of crisis. 

If you want to learn more about gold reserves and which country has the largest, please refer to the data in the charts.
