Central banks bought 1,237 tonnes of gold in 2025. That was the third straight year above the 1,000-tonne threshold. The World Gold Council expects another 750 to 850 tonnes in 2026. For scale, 800 tonnes is roughly 20 percent of global annual mine supply. Central banks are absorbing one dollar of every five that mines produce. That is not portfolio rebalancing. That is a strategic reserve move. The buyers are concentrated. The BRICS+ bloc now holds roughly 6,000 tonnes of gold, per EBC Financial Group. That is 17.4 percent of total global central bank reserves, up from 11.2 percent in 2019. Poland alone added over 20 tonnes in 2026. The mechanics are structural, not tactical. After 2022, when Western sanctions froze Russian central bank reserves held in dollars and euros, every non-Western reserve manager updated their model. Gold carries no counterparty risk, no confiscation risk, no credit risk. That reprices its role in reserves regardless of what the dollar does. For CFOs and boards this matters in three places. One. The dollar is not collapsing. It is losing marginal share of a reserve pie that gold and other assets are steadily taking. Both statements are true. Model both. Two. Cross-border payment infrastructure is diversifying alongside the reserves. If your treasury only knows SWIFT, that is a gap to close in 2026 not 2028. Three. Gold prices set inflation expectations for sovereigns the same way credit spreads set them for corporates. Watch the level, not the daily move. The largest slow-moving trade in the global system right now is the reshaping of how governments hold their reserves. Almost none of it will make the news cycle. All of it will make the next decade. If you track the macro forces most executives underestimate, follow along. I post on this every week.
