"Emerging markets central banks wil be buying gold for decades" John Reade - World Gold Council

Paul Buitink talks to John Reade, Market Strategist at the World Gold Council, about their annual survey with central banks. John explains why emerging markets central banks are buying record amounts whereas Western central banks don't. Reasons are to due to persistent inflation but also because of the changing world order and Western sanctions on Russian assets in 2022. John also shares why emerging market central banks most likely will keep on buying for years or even decades to come. Another important trend is the repatriation of gold. John explains why central banks are bringing back gold home. He also ponders whether there is a chance the BRICS will introduce a gold backed currency and what the impact of the presidential elections will be on gold.
