GOLD, GOLD, GOLD. SWITZERLAND THE QUIET GIANT.

Описание: In a world chasing safety, gold shines… and Switzerland leads.

The gold rush is back.

In 2025, gold surged to record highs, delivering over +50% performance in USD, making it the best-performing asset class year-to-date.
From central banks to private investors, demand for gold is rising fast.
Why? Because in times of inflation, currency risk and uncertainty, gold remains a powerful hedge. A timeless store of value and a stabilizing force.
And quietly at the center of this gold story… is Switzerland.
Few people realize it, but Switzerland holds more gold per capita than any other country on earth. The Swiss National Bank holds around 1’040 tons of gold, worth roughly 100 billion CHF, placing it 7th globally in total holdings… but first per citizen, with 118 grams per resident. Even though the Swiss franc hasn’t been backed by gold since1999, the SNB maintains these reserves as a symbol of stability, prudence, and independence.
This impressive reserve position truly makes a difference, these reserves matter. In 2024, the rise in gold prices created 21.2 billion unrealized gains,
helping drive a record profit of 80 billion for the SNB. In early 2025, gold prices surged further, adding 12.8 billion in valuation in first quarter, before a mild correction bringing: unrealized gains to 8.6 billion mid-years.
Beyond gold, Switzerland’s strength is structural. The economy focuses on high value-added sectors: pharmaceuticals, chemicals, machinery, precision engineering. Not low-margin industries such as automotive.
In the market, Swiss small and mid-cap stocks tell the same story, long-term outperformance, resilience, and innovation. Today, they offer some of the most attractive long-term opportunities, with hidden champions and niche innovators leading the way.

In gold and beyond, Switzerland remains a quiet giant.
