What this figure does not tell us

This is an experimental peer estimate. It is useful for directional comparison, not as an audited country balance.

Per-capita values are comparison ratios and are not investment advice or estimates of what a typical resident personally owns.

How to calculate and compare this estimate

Fine-metal tonnes × 32,150.7465686 ÷ 2,884,079 residents = fine troy ounces per resident. Display rounding does not change the rank. Total tonnes answer a different question from the per-person ratio.

Country-specific evidence is used where available; regional and peer-country estimates extend coverage to 195 countries. Compare dates, evidence and model scenarios as well as base values. An overlapping range does not establish a clear ranking difference.

The separate official-reserves view contains 29 reported country records. Missing official data do not mean zero.
