Over 20 percent of the world's gold reserves are held by BRICS countries, with Russia and China leading the field, according to Sputnik’s calculations based on World Gold Council data.
As of the second quarter of 2024, global gold reserves totaled 29,030 tons, with BRICS (excluding Iran and Ethiopia) holding 6,200 tons, or 21.4 percent of the world's total.
Russia leads within BRICS with 2,340 tons or 8.1 percent of the world's gold, followed by China with 2,260 tons (7.8 percent).
