According to the People’s Bank of China, in June their volume increased by $18.23 billion compared to May, reaching $3 trillion 119.23 billion. This is the highest figure since April last year. Experts have tentatively estimated the country's reserves at $3 trillion 103 billion.

The Chinese Central Bank increased its gold reserves to 61.94 million troy ounces. Following the results of the 7th consecutive month, the volume of purchases of this precious metal grew.
