Germany’s Golden Decade from the World Gold Council 

Germany’s gold investment market has boomed in the past 10 years.

In the face of successive financial crises and loose monetary policy, German investors turned to gold to protect their wealth. In response, new product providers entered the market making it easier for people to invest.

Last year, more than €6bn was ploughed into gold investment products in Germany and, encouragingly, there is room for further growth: consumer research indicates there is latent retail demand which the industry can tap into.

Must read research from the World Gold Council confirming that prudent Germans are the largest gold buyers both in Europe and in the world has just been published and can be accessed on Gold.org here.
