Reports indicate that Poland's central bank (NBP) has significantly bolstered its gold reserves in August, potentially surpassing the gold holdings of the United Kingdom,

according to bankier.pl. As of the end of August, Poland's monetary gold was valued at a substantial USD 19.65 billion, as reported by NBP.

This substantial sum equates to approximately 10,108 million ounces of gold, as calculated by bankier.pl. This marks a notable increase from the 9,628 million ounces officially reported by NBP at the close of July.

In terms of sheer weight, Poland's gold reserves surged from 299.47 tonnes to 314.39 tonnes over the course of August. This suggests that NBP acquired an impressive 15 tonnes of gold within that single month, as highlighted by bankier.pl.

The consequence of this gold acquisition surge is that Poland's gold reserves are now poised to eclipse those of Britain, according to the reports. At the conclusion of July, the United Kingdom's gold reserves amounted to 310.3 tonnes, a figure that has remained static for an extended period, as per data from the International Monetary Fund. Unless the British government procured additional gold in August, Poland is now likely ahead of Britain in the gold reserves ranking, as proposed by bankier.pl.

This year has witnessed a remarkable gold-buying spree by Poland's central bank, with purchases of approximately 15 tonnes in April, around 20 tonnes in May, roughly 14 tonnes in June, 22.4 tonnes in July, and an additional 15 tonnes in August, as documented by bankier.pl.
