NBP Governor Adam Glapinski Targets 20% In Gold Reserves In the LT

POLAND
  • In a press conference on Friday, NBP governor Adam Glapinski mentioned that the share of gold reserves is still 'too low' and the NBP is targeting to increase the share to 10% at first for a long-term target at 20%.
  • The chart below shows that the share of gold reserves currently stands at 7.8% of the total amount of reserves assets.
  • The decrease we have seen in the past year comes from the significant increase in the total reserves assets as NBP gold reserves have remained steady at around PLN 50bln since the start of 2020.
