Key moments in Denmark's gold history
- Unchanged at 66.5 tonnes; Danish gold stored abroad was repatriated from the Bank of England discussions era mostly stayed put — stability is the story.
The 50-year picture
Denmark is a holder, not a trader: its reserves of 66.5 tonnes have changed little across decades of market cycles. For countries in this camp, gold functions as a permanent foundation layer of the national balance sheet — insurance that is never meant to be spent.
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.
