How the ratio is calculated

Fine-metal tonnes x 32,150.7465686 / 58,926,166 residents = fine troy ounces per resident. Display rounding never changes the underlying rank.

What is sourced and estimated

The official monetary-gold value is recorded separately from modelled private holdings.

Fund, bar, coin and jewellery components are country-attributed research estimates.

Important context

Jewellery remains a modelled fine-weight stock.

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