The World Gold Council is a market development organization dedicated to promoting and sustaining demand for gold. It acts as the global authority on the gold market, influencing industry leadership and providing insights into international gold markets. The organization collaborates with a diverse range of partners to foster innovation and drive demand while advocating for its members, who are leading gold mining companies. Over the past two decades, the World Gold Council has played a pivotal role in significant market changes, such as the liberalization of gold trading in China. It enhances the recognition of gold as a vital financial asset and supports initiatives that ensure responsible mining practices, particularly in high-risk areas. By offering guidance, research, and practical tools, the Council helps miners report production costs transparently and demonstrates their contributions to social and economic development. Based in the UK, with operations in countries including India, China, Singapore, and the US, the World Gold Council serves as a collective voice for the gold industry, aiming to create long-term structural changes in the market.
