Most of the economically powerful countries like America, Germany, Italy and France focus on maintaining high gold reserves.
Gold reserves are a very important asset for the boost up of any country's economy and is particularly helpful during economic crisis. A country that exports gold or has access to gold reserves will see an increase in the strength of its currency when gold prices increase.
This actually increases the value of the country's total exports. In other words, an increase in the price of gold can create a trade surplus or help offset a trade deficit. On the other hand, countries that are large importers of gold will inevitably end up having a weaker currency when the price of gold rises.
Let us know that according to the research done by GoldHub, which are the top-10 countries with the highest gold reserves.
