Shaokai Fan of the World Gold Council stated that gold will become an important tool for hedging against de-dollarization and geopolitical risks. He expects that more central banks will re-enter the gold market, with recent purchases by central banks in Guatemala, Indonesia, and Malaysia. This trend may continue until 2026.

The World Gold Council’s Chief Central Bank Officer Shaokai Fan stated on Tuesday that gold is expected to play a role as a hedge against de-dollarization and geopolitical risks, which will likely prompt central banks that have previously been absent from the market to buy this precious metal this year. He said that in recent months, central banks from countries such as Guatemala, Indonesia, and Malaysia have started purchasing gold, either returning to the market after a long hiatus or making their first gold purchases. “In the past few months, some new central banks, or those that have been inactive or absent from the gold market for a long time, are entering the gold market. I believe this trend could continue into 2026.” (Cailian Press)
