Gold Reserves
The Bank of Korea (BOK) has kept its gold reserves unchanged for 13 years since 2013, ranking 39th among central banks worldwide. As of the end of 2025, it held 104.4 metric tons, down one spot from the previous year. Unlike global peers, South Korea maintains a cautious approach due to gold's low liquidity and price volatility.
