Changes between reports combine purchases or sales with revaluation, revisions and reclassification, so a difference between two reports is not proof of buying or selling.

Compare month-by-month changes in reported holdings across the countries we track.

Reuse notices

European Central Bank and ESCB: The ECB permits commercial and non-commercial reuse when statistics and metadata are unchanged; quote the source, for example “Source: ECB statistics.” Identify any changes; Bullion API applies the published unit multiplier, normalizes ounces, and converts reported weight to tonnes.

This comparison is indicative; reporting definitions can differ by institution. Displayed tonnes are rounded to two decimals; ranks use unrounded quantities. Weights describe holdings at an observation date. Differences do not confirm purchases or sales. Derived weights remain separate from reported quantities. Attribution and reuse terms.
