Gold reserve

Gold reserves refer to the amount of gold that a country's central bank or government holds as part of its official foreign exchange holdings. They use gold reserves as a financial safeguard, a store of value, and to support its currency's stability and confidence in the economy. Gold is considered a trusted asset because its value tends to remain relatively stable over time. Countries can buy or sell gold reserves to influence their economy or to meet international financial obligations, making gold an important part of a nation's financial security strategy.
