How the ratio is calculated

Fine-metal tonnes x 32,150.7465686 / 52,761,470 residents = fine troy ounces per resident. Display rounding never changes the underlying rank.

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.

Important context

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.
