Gold Reserves of Burundi: 50 Years of Change
Burundi currently holds 0.03 tonnes of official gold and is holding no significant official gold. Here is how its reserves rose and fell over the last half-century.
The 50-year picture
Burundi reports no significant official gold to the IMF. Its central bank relies on foreign currencies, IMF positions and other assets instead — a reminder that while the world's biggest economies vault thousands of tonnes, dozens of countries hold effectively none at all.
Whatever an individual country does, the global trend is unambiguous: central banks collectively bought more than 1,000 tonnes a year from 2022 through 2025 — the heaviest official buying since the Bretton Woods era — and that demand is one of the forces behind today's record gold prices.
