Central Banks Increase Gold Reserves and Reduce Dollar Holdings Amid Geopolitical Risks
A recent OMFIF survey reveals that central banks worldwide are increasingly shifting their reserve strategies amid geopolitical risks. About 30% plan to boost gold holdings, viewing it as a strategic hedge, while many intend to reduce US dollar allocations over the next decade. Alternatives like the euro and renminbi are gaining interest, though both face limitations. The survey also notes growing acceptance of a multipolar currency system and rising attention to smaller developed-market currencies.
