China is secretly buying up gold - the real volume may be 10 times higher<\/h2>\n

Beijing conceals large-scale purchases and actual reserves may exceed 5000 tonnes; the gold price broke through $4300 per ounce.<\/h2>\n

Beijing. Financial Times<\/strong> reports that China may be covertly buying up to 250 tonnes of gold per year<\/strong> - ten times more than officially declared (25 tonnes). This is based on analysts' estimates and data from the precious metals market.<\/p>\n

\n

Details of the FT investigation<\/h2>\n

Analysts suggest that real procurement is concealed for several reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Beijing is actively moving away from the dollar<\/strong> and the part of reserves that may be subject to sanctions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Purchases are made not only by People's Bank of China<\/strong>, but also military structures<\/strong> and state sovereign wealth fund<\/strong> - and they are not required to disclose data<\/strong> about volumes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Almost all real transactions are not reported: The IMF sees only a third<\/strong> of officially declared global procurement.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Possible real reserves<\/h2>\n

    According to analysts, the actual volume of Chinese gold may be:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      exceed 5000 tonnes<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      be twice as large<\/strong>, than Beijing officially announces to international regulators.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This level of reserves dramatically increases China's financial autonomy and its protection against currency risks.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Market reaction<\/h2>\n

      This is against the backdrop of the publication and the general trend of \u00abdistrust of the dollar\u00bb:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        the gold price broke through $4300 per ounce<\/strong>,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        markets are in a state of heightened volatility,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        is unknown, how many more central banks<\/strong> are hidden in their own safes, which creates a shortage in the global market.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Experts believe that China's covert purchases may be the \u00abmost underestimated factor\u00bb in the rise in the gold price in recent years.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
