With the price of gold at record highs, the gold reserves of Indian households are now likely to exceed the five trillion-dollar mark. This means that their value is greater than the country’s total gross domestic product (around 4.1 trillion US dollars). According to estimates, the gold reserves amount to around 34,600 tons. This highlights the special cultural significance of gold for the Indian economy. At the same time, Venezuela shows how gold can preserve purchasing power. Following measures taken by the US government, Venezuela’s currency, the Bolívar, has depreciated significantly, exacerbating the economic crisis in the country. Investors in gold are likely to be pleased there.

In 2025, the price of gold reached record highs worldwide. The financial system is becoming increasingly unstable, and the oft-cited factors that have driven the price of gold and are likely to continue to do so are omnipresent. A study of where the rise in the price of gold was particularly strong shows that this mainly affected countries suffering from high inflation. Argentina ranked first, followed by Turkey. In these two countries, the price of the precious metal rose by 134 and 102 percent, respectively, in 2025.

Gold is not only an effective means of storing value but also reflects the dwindling confidence in paper money. Gold mining companies are, of course, also beneficiaries of high gold prices. Their revenues increase when gold is sold, as do their margins, while production costs remain relatively constant. Royalty companies that have stakes in mining companies and earn income from streams and license fees also benefit from this without having to do anything.
