HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Demand for gold in Vietnam fellby 12% year-on-year in the first quarter to 17.2 tonnes, according to thelatest Gold Demand Trends report from the World Gold Council.

Bullion and coin demand dropped by 10% to 12.6 tonnes, andjewellery demand by 18% to 4.6 tonnes.

Shaokai Fan, head of Asia-Pacific (ex-China) and global head ofcentral banks at the World Gold Council, said: “The decline in jewellery golddemand is partly due to strong base effects – Q1 2022 was the strongest firstquarter for local jewellery demand since 2007.

"Jewellery buying in Q1 2023 was healthy during the Lunar NewYear celebrations before tailing off in February and March as the gold pricerose.”

The report shows that while global gold demand, excludingover-the-counter, was 13% lower year-on-year, a recovery in the OTC marketpropped up demand to 1,174 tonnes, a 1% increase compared to Q1 2022.

Central banks helped boost demand adding 228 tonnes to globalreserves, a Q1 record high in this data series.

Sustained and significant purchases by the official sectorunderscore gold’s role in international reserve portfolios during times ofmarket volatility and heightened risk, the report said.

Jewellery was relatively flat in the first quarter at 478 tonnesglobally.

Chinese demand regained ground, reaching 198 tonnes in its firstquarter of unfettered consumer activity since lockdown restrictions werelifted.

This offset weaker demand in India, where it fell by 17%year-on-year to 78 tonnes. A sharp increase in domestic prices impacted thedemand.

Investment demand was chequered. Renewed gold-backedexchange-traded funds inflows in March, driven primarily by systemic risk inthe US economy, partially countered outflows in January and February and helpedbring quarterly outflows down to a modest 29 tonnes. 

On the other hand, global bar and coin investment strengthened by5% to 302 tonnes, though there were notable shifts in key markets.

On the supply side, there was a slight increase to 1,174 tonnes,with a 2% rise in mine production and 5% rise in recycling driven by the higherprices./.
