Today, gold is considered a safe-haven asset, an excellent investment during uncertain times due to its stability. It also serves as a hedge against inflation and weaker currencies since its value isn't tied to any specific issuer or government.
Central banks, the largest gold holders, increase their gold reserves during economic turbulence to strengthen their currencies' perceived strength. In 2022, central banks added 1,136 tonnes of gold, valued at around $70 billion, to their reserves, their largest yearly purchase on record.
