The National Bank of Serbia plans to bring home its entire gold reserve, valued at $6bn, making it unique in Eastern Europe.

The National Bank of Serbia plans to bring its gold reserves, worth about 6 billion dollars, back into the country to ensure their security in times of crisis. Serbia will thus become the first Eastern European country not to store gold in traditional hubs such as Switzerland or the US. As of July 16, 2025, Serbia's gold reserves stood at 50.05 tons, accounting for 17.2% of total foreign exchange reserves. Serbia has been an active buyer of gold, adding 3.2 tons in 2024.
