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.

What this figure does not tell us

Private-stock attribution carries moderate uncertainty.

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 ÷ 18,448,775 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.
