Some central banks are purchasing gold from small domestic producers to support local industries, Fan added.

The WGC predicted in January 2026 that central bank gold purchases would decrease by 13 tons YoY to 850 tons this year. Last year, central bank purchases accounted for about 17% of the total demand in the global gold market.
