1, USA: the official reserve is 8 133.5 tons, and the proportion of gold reserves in foreign exchange reserves is 7 1.9%.

2. Germany: The official reserve is 3,384.2 tons, and the proportion of gold reserves in foreign exchange reserves is 68.4%. Germany's gold reserves are very large. The current 3384 tons is still the data after selling some gold in the past two years. The Bundesbank sells 6 or 7 tons of gold to the German Ministry of Finance every year.
3. Italy: Official reserve: 245 1.8 tons, and gold reserves account for 67% of foreign exchange reserves. The Italian government loves gold more than France, because under any rules of CBGA, Italy has no plans to sell gold. In 2065,438+065,438+0, Italian banks tried to ask the Italian central bank to buy their gold so that they could conduct stress tests.
4. France: The official reserve is 2,435.4 tons, and the ratio of gold reserve to foreign exchange reserve is 65. 1. Compared with the above-mentioned countries, France's gold reserves are amazing both in absolute quantity and in proportion to foreign reserves. At the end of 2004, France also sold 572 tons of gold according to CBGA2 rules.
5. China: The official reserve is 1.658 tons, and the proportion of gold reserves to foreign exchange reserves is 1.7%. In 2065,438+03, China surpassed India to become the largest gold buyer in the world. However, due to the huge scale of China's foreign exchange reserves of 3.7 trillion US dollars, the proportion of gold reserves in foreign exchange reserves is very small. The international average ratio is about 10%.
6. Russia: The official reserve is 1094.7 tons, and the proportion of gold reserves in foreign exchange reserves is 9.7%. Since February last year, Russia began to increase the scale of gold reserves, which once eclipsed Switzerland and China. As the country is being sanctioned by Europe and the United States, in August last year, the Russian central bank even decided to buy more gold, and will make the foreign reserves with a large proportion of dollars and euros more diversified.
7. Switzerland: Official reserves: 1.040 tons, and gold reserves account for 8% of foreign exchange reserves. In July last year, the Swiss National Bank released data showing that the bank's income in the first half of 14 was $654,380+07.7 billion, benefiting from the rising gold price. But what I didn't expect was that the price of gold fell again and again, and now it has reached the lowest price in five years.
8. Japan: Official reserve: 765.2 tons, accounting for 2.5% of foreign exchange reserves. Japan's gold reserves grew rapidly, from only 6 tons in 1950 to over 700 tons now. Especially in 1959, the gold reserves increased by 169 tons over the previous year.
9. Netherlands: Official reserve: 6 12.5 tons, and gold reserves account for 54.3% of foreign exchange reserves. Most of the gold reserves in the Netherlands are in the United States, some are in Canada and Britain, and only about 65,438+00% are in Amsterdam. Early last year, the Netherlands tried to transport foreign gold reserves back to China.
10, India: official reserves: 557.7 tons, and gold reserves account for 7.3% of foreign exchange reserves. Although the Indian people's love for gold is well known, the official gold reserves are not among the highest in the world. In addition, due to the government's strict restrictions, India's gold imports are expected to decline for the fourth consecutive year this year.
