Russia has a record stockpile of gold

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation turned out to be the leader in terms of purchases of precious metal in the third quarter of this year during this period Russia's reserves were replenished with 99 tons.. As noted in the report of the World Gold Council (WGC), gold reserves of the Russian Federation have grown over the past three months by 22% from last year. According to the Central Bank, there are more than 2 thousand tons of gold in Russia's gold and foreign exchange reserves, which is 17% of the total world reserves.. Against the background of Russian purchases, the indicators of other countries look more than modest - Turkey’s closest “pursuer” has acquired only 18.5 tons.
