Indonesia's Gold Reserves Remain Mismatched with Central Bank Holdings

Indonesia's gold reserves are estimated at 3,600 metric tons, ranking fourth globally, yet its central bank, Bank Indonesia, holds only 87.1 metric tons in official monetary reserves.

The country produces around 100 metric tons of gold annually from domestic mines, but this output is not being absorbed by the central bank.

Industry leaders are urging financial authorities to accumulate gold as a strategic hedge against currency depreciation and global dedollarization trends.
