币界网报道：According to the news on June 17, the World Gold Council said that its "2025 Central Bank Gold Reserve Survey" set a new benchmark, receiving a total of 73 responses - the highest number since the survey was launched eight years ago. Such a high level of participation strongly indicates that the central bank's attention to gold is increasing. The survey results show: 1. Central banks' expectations for gold continue to improve, and 95% of central banks believe that global central bank gold reserves will increase in the next 12 months. 2. A record 43% of central banks said that their institutions' gold reserves will also increase in the same period, and no one expects gold holdings to decline. 3. The proportion of central banks that actively manage gold reserves will increase from 37% in 2024 to 44% in 2025. Improving returns is still the main reason, but risk management surpasses tactical trading and becomes the second largest motivation. 4. The Bank of England remains the most popular place to store gold reserves (64%), but the proportion of central banks that choose to store gold domestically will rise from 41% in 2024 to 59% in 2025, but only 7% plan to increase domestic storage in the next 12 months. Gold's performance in times of crisis, its portfolio diversification function and its anti-inflation characteristics are key factors driving central banks to plan to increase their gold holdings in the coming year. These characteristics are also the core reason why central banks make strategic allocations to gold.
