Central Bank Governor: Iraq has one of the highest gold reserves in the Arab world at 162 tons
Al-Alaq stated in a statement to the official agency that “the Central Bank is closely monitoring the movement of gold and currencies,” noting that “part of diversification to ward off any risks is to have a percentage of gold reserves, especially in recent years, there have been continuous purchases.”
He added, “Iraq today has 162 tons of gold, which is one of the highest reserves in the Arab world, and we are the fourth country in terms of the size of the gold reserves we have.”
