Gold Prices Hit Record High as Polish National Bank Expands Reserves

Gold prices have surged, exceeding PLN 10,000 per ounce for the first time. This increase has significantly boosted Poland's National Bank (NBP) reserves, which grew to 12.8 million ounces by August 2024. The value of these reserves now stands at over PLN 124 billion, a rise of more than PLN 44 billion in just a year. The NBP's strategy to increase gold holdings is paying off, driven by larger purchases and the soaring global value of gold.
Gold remains a key financial safety net amid inflation and market volatility. The increasing gold reserves bolster Poland's economic stability, contributing to a stronger national currency buffer.
