The unquenchable thirst for gold in the Middle East
Average reading time — 2 minutes
The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has increased its gold reserves by an impressive 122% over the course of this year, which are now estimated at nearly $2.5 billion. The country that had maintained the same level of the precious metal reserves for several years started to systematically increase them in 2019.
Why gold?
Banking expert Ahmed Youssef explains that central banks around the world consider the yellow metal a risk-free store of value, which is especially important given the current turbulent environment. That is why there is a huge demand for the acquisition of this asset.
The expert notes that the Central Bank of the UAE makes sure that it has a sufficient amount of gold and foreign currency at its disposal. This reduces risks and boosts investor confidence.

What are the prospects?
Another banking expert, Amjad Nasr, emphasizes that the price of gold is on an upward trend, making the yellow metal a means of protection in adverse economic conditions. According to the specialist, central banks view gold as a strategic reserve that enhances their financial positions and strengthens the national currency.
After a short break, the price of gold resumed its upward movement. According to the new forecast of the Australian bank ANZ, a weak demand for the dollar will continue to positively affect the price of the yellow metal that will reach $2,300 per ounce by early 2021.
As of October 19, 2020, the price of an ounce is $1,904.
