How to read this table
Selecting a specific row allows you to see the accumulated gold volume in the chosen country over the entire specified period. Comparing indicators between different rows makes it possible to compare the scale of monetary reserves of countries using a single unit of measurement. In Russia, for example, the gold volume changed from 25.4 million troy ounces in 2010 to 75 million troy ounces by the end of 2023, which stands out clearly when compared with the indicators of other participants in the list
What is visible in these numbers
