How to interpret this ranking

The broad view is an experimental allocation model. It is useful for directional comparison, not as an audited national balance sheet or a census of resident ownership.

Observation and population years

Metal quantities use the current release observation or model date. The population denominator is stated on every row and country page.

Quick answers

Common questions

Plain-language answers explain what the numbers include, what they leave out and where the source coverage ends.

Which country ranks first for broad gold holdings per capita?

Switzerland ranks first among 195 countries in the current view at 6.78 fine troy ounces per resident.

How is the per-capita figure calculated?

The published metal quantity is converted to fine troy ounces or grams and divided by the documented resident population. Rankings use unrounded values.

Does this show what a typical resident personally owns?

No. These holdings are country-attributed research estimates, not a census of what residents personally own.

Why are some countries unavailable?

The broad model covers 195 sovereign states, but evidence grades and component availability vary by country.

How do the Gold measures differ?

Official monetary gold is the narrow authority-held measure. The investment view adds attributed funds, bars and coins, while the broad view also adds jewellery estimates.
