The Central Bank’s holdings reached a record of 565 tons of gold. In January, central banks bought 31 tons of gold, up 16% from December. Turkey stockpiled gold for months and was the largest buyer of gold by a monetary authority last year. Turkish families buy gold as a hedge against currency and inflation. The Turkish currency lost 44% of its value over the past year and 30% of its value during the first three months of this year. At the same time, inflation reached record levels last November, reaching 85%, before gradually declining over the past months. Last month, Turkey temporarily halted gold imports to mitigate economic damage from catastrophic earthquakes.
