Gold Price Rise Gives Putin's Russia $216 Billion Boom Amid Ukraine War | Firstpost Live | N18G

Russia is reaping a windfall from a surge in gold prices since the start of the war in Ukraine. The value of the Bank of Russia’s gold holdings has increased by more than $216 billion since February 2022, reports said. At the same time, the central bank has largely refrained from both major purchases of the metal and using its gold reserves during that period, despite the loss of access to foreign securities and currencies blocked under sanctions. In 2025, gold gained around 65%, its strongest annual performance since 1979. Russia’s international reserves reached $755 billion at the end of last year, including $326.5 billion held in gold, according to central bank data published on Friday. Gold prices surged to a record high above $4,800 per ounce on January 21. --- Russia | Putin | Gold | Gold Prices | Ukraine War | Firstpost | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | Trending News #russia #trump #gold #goldprice #putin #firstpost #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
