The World Gold Council reported that central banks purchased 321 tonnes of gold in the third quarter of 2026. This significant buying contributed to a total demand of 675 tonnes for the year so far.

This data indicates strong interest from central banks in gold as a reserve asset during 2026. The purchases in the third quarter represented nearly half of the total demand for the year.

The report highlights ongoing trends in central bank gold buying, reflecting their strategies in managing reserves amid global economic conditions.

Looking ahead, the World Gold Council's findings suggest that central bank demand will remain a key factor in the gold market for the remainder of 2026.
