NBP adding gold to its reserves, ranking 10th globally
Poland has become one of the world’s leading gold buyers, currently holding over 520 tons—about 25% of national reserves—and ranking 10th globally. The National Bank of Poland (NBP) aims to raise gold to 30% of total reserves, positioning Poland among the most financially resilient countries. This strategy reflects growing geopolitical risks, including regional instability and concerns about reliance on foreign currencies and debt markets. Gold is seen as a secure, politically independent asset that cannot be frozen or devalued. Research suggests that a 30% share enhances economic stability during crises.
While rating agencies have recently lowered Poland’s outlook due to rising debt and proximity to conflict, continued gold purchases may strengthen long-term financial security and credibility.
