RBI Gold Reserve: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) bought 57.5 tonnes of gold in FY 2025 amid a record rise in gold prices. In this way, the Reserve Bank has increased the amount of its safe asset amidst the instability released in the global market. This is the second time since 2017 when the RBI has bought so much gold during one year.
RBI had so much gold till March 2025
In fact, geopolitical uncertainties, US dollar fluctuations and the decline in American government bonds are many reasons, due to which many central banks around the world considered it necessary to increase their gold reserves to avoid any possible risk situation in the future. According to the new data, the total amount of gold with RBI has reached 879.6 tonnes by March 2025, compared to 822.1 tonnes during this period.
Because of this, central banks are buying gold
According to the ET report, RBI bought 66 tonnes of gold in 2021-22. After this, 35 tonnes and 27 tonnes of gold were purchased in FY23 and FY24 respectively. Especially, after Donald Trump was elected as the US President in November 2024, there was a lot of ups and downs in the dollar, which increased the demand for gold.
Experts believe that the central banks are focusing more on the purchase of gold in view of the declining demand of American Treasury Bonds. Sajal Gupta, the head of currency and commodities in Nuwama, says that all the central banks around the world are reducing their dependence on American Treasury and increasing gold reserves.
