Senegal gold per capita
Senegal's estimated above-ground gold holdings equal 0.366 fine troy ounces per resident, based on 221 t and a UN 2026 population estimate of 19.4M. It appears at position #161 among 195 countries. This is a research estimate, not an official reserve figure or a survey of household ownership.

These medians compare country ratios in the same broad-estimate scope. They are not population-weighted world amounts. Senegal's low–high model scenarios span 0.136–1.00 fine oz per resident.

What is sourced and estimated
No reported official value or country-specific private-stock anchor is published in this release.
Broad components use a population, income-group and regional peer allocation reconciled to the release calibration.
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 ÷ 19,366,548 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.
