Gold Reserves of Cameroon: 50 Years of Change
Cameroon currently holds 0.90 tonnes of official gold and is holding minimal gold. Here is how its reserves rose and fell over the last half-century.
The 50-year picture
Cameroon keeps only a token gold position — 0.90 tonnes — with national reserves held mainly in foreign currencies. This is common for smaller economies: gold must be vaulted and insured, and below a certain scale central banks judge the costs not worth it.
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.

Why do central banks hold gold?
Gold carries no counterparty risk, cannot be frozen or printed by another country, and historically holds value through currency crises — which is why central banks bought more gold in 2022–2025 than in any period since the 1960s.
