How to read this table
Rows in the list are divided by country, allowing for a comparison of gold volumes in Russia with the reserves of other market participants. By comparing values across rows, the relative size of each central bank's gold reserve in millions of troy ounces can be assessed. Data is presented on an annual basis and covers four years of observation
What is visible in these numbers
