ChainThink News, April 4: According to the official announcement from the World Gold Council, global central banks recorded a net purchase of 19 tons of gold in February 2026. This marks a rebound from the 5-ton net acquisition in January 2026, although it remains below the 2025 monthly average of 26 tons for central bank gold buying.

The World Gold Council noted that the resurgence in central bank gold purchases in February underscores the ongoing recognition and commitment by central banks to gold as a reserve asset. The report also indicates that certain central banks have maintained continuous net gold accumulation from November 2024 to February 2026, totaling 44 tons; the Czech Republic has achieved 36 consecutive months of net gold buying, while China has increased its gold reserves for 16 consecutive months.
