Holding power: How reserves, technology and investors are reshaping the gold market

Live: Thursday 19 November, 15:00 - 16:30 (UKT), 10:00 - 11:30 (NYC), 22:00 - 23:30 (SNG)

This year, OMFIF launched the inaugural Gold and Precious Metals working group, bringing together leading industry actors and central bank reserve managers to understand gold as a strategic asset.
Following the series of in-depth conversations with leading participants, the working group analyses gold as reserve realignment, strategic collateral, retailisation, regulation, market stability and the future of tokenised gold. The insights from these discussions culminate in a report covering geopolitical risks, reserve management, market stability and the market for gold.

About the Economic and Monetary Policy Institute

IMG_4556

OMFIF’s Economic and Monetary Policy Institute is a trusted forum that convenes a global community of central banks, finance ministries, regulators, banks, investors, consultants and other organisations to explore the future of the global economy.

The bedrock of EMP is our off-the-record roundtables with key policy-makers across the world, allowing members to actively discuss the factors shaping economic policy and market trends. In 2024, we hosted over 30 in-person membership events across the UK, Germany and the US as well as more than 20 virtually, with over 1,000 members across the public and private sector registering to attend.

Moreover, through our market-leading Global Public Investor series, we have engaged with 160 central banks, public pension funds and sovereign funds across the world to explore their main investment strategies. We aim to deepen our engagement in 2025 through a new working group on reserve management diversification strategies.
