Central banks are moving into gold. Here's what that means for you

At Teqwah, we watch what the largest, most patient investors in the world do: central banks. A new Deutsche Bank Research report gives a clear picture of where they are heading.

What the report says

According to Deutsche Bank Research (The return of history, April 2026):

• The dollar's share of global central bank reserves has fallen from about 60% to around 40%.
• Gold's share has risen to nearly 30%, doubling in four years.
• Every central bank gold purchase since 2008 has come from emerging markets, including Gulf states like Qatar and the UAE.
• The authors see room for gold to reach at least 40% of reserves.

Why we think it matters

Central banks don't buy gold for a quick trade. They buy it to protect national savings from risks they can't control: sanctions, currency swings and a less predictable world. When they keep adding, year after year, it tells us gold is being treated again as a core store of value, not just a shiny commodity.

For families and businesses in the Gulf and Africa, the lesson is simple: gold is a long-term anchor, not a lottery ticket.

How we approach gold at Teqwah

We built Teqwah around real, physical gold and the trade around it. That's why we care about where gold comes from, how it is checked and how it is stored. If you want to understand how we work and what we offer, start at teqwah.com.

The honest part

Gold can fall as well as rise, sometimes sharply. Deutsche Bank's scenarios, including a possible $8,000 gold price, are scenarios, not promises. Deutsche Bank has no link to Teqwah and doesn't endorse us. Never put in money you may need soon, and always check any deal before you commit.
