Data are taken from the International Monetary Funds International Financial Statistics (IFS), April 2012 edition, and other sources where applicable. IFS data are two months in arrears, so holdings are as of February 2012 for most countries, January 2012 or earlier for late reporters. The table does not list all gold holders: countries which have not reported their gold holdings to the IMF in the last six months are not included, while other countries are known to hold gold but they do not report their holdings publicly. Where the WGC knows of movements that are not reported to the IMF or misprints, changes have been made. *The percentage share held in gold of total foreign reserves, as calculated by the World Gold Council. The value of gold holdings is calculated using the end of month London pm fix gold price published daily by the LBMA. In February the end of month gold price was $1770. Data for the value of other reserves are taken from IFS, table Total Reserves minus Gold. 1. BIS and IMF balance sheets do not allow this percentage to be calculated. In the case of any countries, up to date data for other reserves are not available. 2. BIS data are updated each year from the BISs annual report to reflect the Banks gold investment assets excluding any gold held in connection with swap operations, under which the Bank exchanges currencies for physical gold. The bank has an obligation to return the gold at the end of the contract. 3. West African Economic Monetary Union including the central bank. 4. Includes both “Monetary gold“ and “Other gold“ as reported by the central bank. 5. Signatories to the third Central Bank Gold Agreement which commenced in September 2009.
