Central Banks Buying and Selling Gold in 2026

See visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • Poland is the largest gold buyer in 2026 so far, adding over 20 tonnes.
  • Emerging markets are driving most purchases as geopolitical risk rises.
  • Russia and Turkey are among the biggest sellers, reflecting fiscal and currency pressures.

Central banks are taking diverging paths on gold in 2026.

While countries like Poland, Uzbekistan, and China are adding to their reserves, others, including Russia and Turkey, are selling to manage economic pressures. The split highlights gold’s dual role as both a geopolitical hedge and a source of liquidity.

This chart shows net changes in central bank gold reserves by country so far as of end of February, based on data from the World Gold Council.

Poland Leads Global Gold Buying in 2026

Poland is leading global gold accumulation in 2026, adding over 20 tonnes, more than any other central bank so far this year. This purchase is part of a broader multi-year plan to reach 700 tonnes, reflecting heightened security concerns on NATO’s eastern flank.

Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan follow closely behind, continuing a steady trend of gold accumulation among Central Asian economies.

Country Net Change in 2026 (Tonnes of Gold)
🇵🇱 Poland 20.23
🇺🇿 Uzbekistan 16.48
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan 6.51

🇷🇺 Russia -15.55

Diversification Away From Dollar Reserves

The freezing of roughly $300 billion in Russian central bank assets in 2022 marked a turning point for global reserve management.

In response, countries like China and several Central Asian economies have accelerated gold purchases, treating bullion as a reserve asset that sits outside the reach of foreign governments. Unlike foreign currency reserves, gold is not subject to foreign jurisdiction, making it attractive in a fragmented geopolitical landscape. Smaller buyers, such as Cambodia and Serbia, are also gradually increasing their allocations.

Why Russia and Turkey Are Selling Gold

On the other side of the ledger, Russia and Turkey are the largest net sellers of gold in 2026.

Russia’s gold sales point to mounting fiscal strain, as wartime spending and sanctions pressure government finances.

Meanwhile, Turkey’s reduction is driven by domestic policy, including efforts to stabilize the lira and manage local gold demand.

Ranked: The EU’s Richest Regions

This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • Ireland’s Eastern and Midland region ranks first, with GDP per capita more than double the EU average.
  • Luxembourg and Southern Ireland also rank far above the norm, driven in part by multinational activity.
  • Capital hubs like Prague and Bucharest-Ilfov rank among the EU’s richest regions, highlighting how wealth clusters in major cities.

Ireland and Luxembourg dominate the top of this ranking, but some of the most surprising entries come from Central and Eastern Europe, where capital regions rival Western Europe’s wealthiest hubs.

Using data from Eurostat and visualized by DataPulse, this graphic ranks EU regions by GDP per capita in purchasing power standards (PPS), which adjusts for cost-of-living differences across countries.

The EU’s Top 30 Regions by GDP per Capita

The table below shows the EU’s top-performing regions by GDP per capita, measured in purchasing power standards (PPS):

Rank Region Country GDP per Capita (€) % of EU Avg
1 Eastern and Midland 🇮🇪 Ireland 107,200 268
2 Luxembourg 🇱🇺 Luxembourg 97,700 245
3 Southern 🇮🇪 Ireland 86,500 217
4 Hamburg 🇩🇪 Germany 78,300 196
5 Prague 🇨🇿 Czech Republic 76,600 192
6 Brussels 🇧🇪 Belgium 76,000 190
7 Bucharest - Ilfov 🇷🇴 Romania 75,000 188
8 Capital Region of Denmark 🇩🇰 Denmark 70,100 175
9 North Holland 🇳🇱 Netherlands 69,900 175
10 Upper Bavaria 🇩🇪 Germany 67,700 170
11 Budapest 🇭🇺 Hungary 67,200 168
12 Utrecht 🇳🇱 Netherlands 64,900 162
13 Bolzano - South Tyrol 🇮🇹 Italy 64,200 161
14 Île-de-France 🇫🇷 France 64,000 160
15 Warsaw 🇵🇱 Poland 62,800 157
16 Walloon Brabant 🇧🇪 Belgium 61,900 155
17 Stuttgart (district) 🇩🇪 Germany 61,300 153
18 Stockholm 🇸🇪 Sweden 61,100 153
19 Bratislava Region 🇸🇰 Slovakia 61,000 153
20 Darmstadt (district) 🇩🇪 Germany 59,200 148
21 Salzburg 🇦🇹 Austria 58,100 146
22 North Brabant 🇳🇱 Netherlands 55,400 139
23 Vienna 🇦🇹 Austria 54,600 137
24 Antwerp 🇧🇪 Belgium 54,100 135
25 Sostinės regionas 🇱🇹 Lithuania 53,000 133
26 Bremen (state) Bremen 🇩🇪 Germany 52,700 132
27 Lombardy 🇮🇹 Italy 52,700 132
28 Zagreb 🇭🇷 Croatia 52,500 131
29 Lower Saxony Braunschweig 🇩🇪 Germany 51,500 129
30 South Holland 🇳🇱 Netherlands 51,500 129
-- Average 🇪🇺 European Union 40,000 100

The top of the ranking is dominated by two familiar outliers: Ireland and Luxembourg.

Eastern and Midland (Ireland) leads the EU by a wide margin, while Southern Ireland and Luxembourg also rank far above the regional average. Notably, several Central and Eastern European capitals rank ahead of regions in much larger Western economies.

Why Ireland and Luxembourg Stand Out

At first glance, Ireland and Luxembourg appear to be runaway leaders. But part of that strength reflects the way multinational firms book profits in these economies.

In Ireland especially, the presence of major foreign companies can push GDP per capita far above what domestic consumption or household income alone would suggest. Economists often describe this gap as GDP distortion, where globally generated profits are recorded locally.

The Power of Capital Regions

Many of Europe’s wealthiest regions are centered around capital cities or major economic hubs. Prague, Brussels, Paris (Île-de-France), and Copenhagen all rank highly due to:

  • Concentration of government institutions
  • High-value service industries
  • Corporate headquarters and financial activity

These regions act as economic engines, attracting talent, investment, and infrastructure that boost productivity and output per person.

Eastern Europe’s Surprising Entries

Notably, Bucharest-Ilfov (Romania) and Budapest (Hungary) rank among the EU’s top regions, despite their countries having lower overall GDP per capita.

This creates a striking contrast: cities like Bucharest and Budapest rank among the EU’s richest regions, even though their countries rank much lower overall. Economic activity is concentrated in these capital hubs, where multinational firms and high-value services drive productivity well above national averages.

The broader takeaway is that national averages can hide where economic power is really concentrated. Across the EU, a relatively small group of capital cities, financial centers, and multinational hubs account for an outsized share of regional wealth.

Mapped: Internet Freedom Around the World in 2026

See visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • 11 countries tie for the world’s freest internet (score: 92), spanning Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
  • North Korea ranks last (0), with China, Russia, Iran, and Pakistan close behind (4).
  • The U.S. (64) and UK (52) rank mid-pack, trailing leaders like Norway and Costa Rica.

How free is the internet where you live?

This map ranks 171 countries based on how freely people can access the internet. The results reveal stark global differences, from highly open systems in parts of Europe and Latin America to tightly controlled networks in countries like North Korea and China.

The data comes from a 2026 internet freedom index by Cloudwards, which evaluates national policies across four areas: torrenting, VPN availability, adult content, and political and civic expression.

Where Does the U.S. Rank?

The United States scores 64 out of 100, placing it in the global middle. It ranks alongside countries like Japan and Australia, and below top performers such as Norway (92) and Canada (84).

The UK scores even lower at 52, reflecting stricter regulations in areas like online content access.

The Freest Internet Access Worldwide

No country achieves a perfect score, but 11 countries across four continents share the top spot at 92.

These countries are Belgium, Costa Rica, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Norway, Slovakia, Suriname, and Timor-Leste.

🇨🇳 China 4
🇮🇷 Iran 4
🇵🇰 Pakistan 4
🇷🇺 Russia 4
🇰🇵 North Korea 0

European countries make up over half of this top echelon and are especially concentrated in the Nordics, where Sweden (80) is the only exception. The Nordic countries are widely known for their liberal, tolerant governments and societies.

Perhaps more surprising is the high placement of countries like Suriname and Timor-Leste, developing nations in South America and Asia that have nonetheless imposed minimal restrictions on social media use and online access.

The Bottom of the Scoreboard

On the other side of the spectrum is North Korea (0), where very few citizens have access to the global internet. Instead, most rely on the national intranet service, Kwangmyong, which filters out outside information.

Right behind North Korea are China and Russia, which tie with Iran and Pakistan for the next-lowest scores worldwide (4).

China’s Great Firewall is perhaps the world’s best-known censorship system, used to suppress criticism of the country’s leaders or content related to politically sensitive topics such as the Tiananmen Square protests. It also blocks access to foreign platforms like Facebook and YouTube.

Internet Access in the West

The United States (64) sits near the middle of the ranking, alongside developed democracies such as Australia, France, Germany, and Japan. The United Kingdom (52) scores slightly lower, with recent adult content legislation playing a role.

Across much of the Western world, scores remain relatively high, including in Canada (84), Ireland and Portugal (both 80), and Spain and Italy (both 72).

One notable outlier is South Korea (32), which ranks below countries like Cuba, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela (36), underscoring how content restrictions—not just political systems—shape internet freedom scores.

2026 GDP Growth Forecasts for the World’s 20 Largest Economies

Geopolitical tensions are putting pressure on global growth, but not all economies are affected equally. Which of the world’s largest economies are set to grow the fastest in 2026?

In this graphic, created in partnership with Terzo, we look at real GDP growth projections for the world’s 20 largest economies. It’s part of our Markets in a Minute series, which delivers quick economic insights.

Ranking GDP Growth by Country

In 2026, India is projected to see the highest GDP growth among economic powerhouses. The IMF raised its forecast due to India’s strong economy in 2025, as well as the reduction in U.S. tariffs on Indian goods.

Country 2026 Projected Real GDP Growth
🇮🇳 India 6.5%
🇮🇩 Indonesia 5.0%
🇨🇳 China 4.4%
🇹🇷 Türkiye 3.4%
🇵🇱 Poland 3.3%
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 3.1%
🇺🇸 U.S. 2.3%
🇪🇸 Spain 2.1%
🇦🇺 Australia 2.0%
🇧🇷 Brazil 1.9%
🇰🇷 South Korea 1.9%
🇲🇽 Mexico 1.6%
🇨🇦 Canada 1.5%
🇳🇱 Netherlands 1.2%
🇷🇺 Russia 1.1%
🇫🇷 France 0.9%
🇬🇧 UK 0.8%
🇩🇪 Germany 0.8%
🇯🇵 Japan 0.7%
🇮🇹 Italy 0.5%

Source: IMF World Economic Outlook, April 2026. Real GDP growth is adjusted for inflation.

China takes the third spot among the world’s largest economies with forecasted growth of 4.4%. Its relatively strong prediction is the result of lower U.S. tariff rates on Chinese goods, as well as policy support from Chinese authorities to offset the negative effects of the Middle East conflict.

As a result of the conflict, Saudi Arabia saw the biggest drop in its growth forecast among the world’s largest economies. Experts expect that temporarily reduced oil exports will create a drag on GDP. However, Saudi Arabia is much better off than many of its neighbors due to the East-West pipeline that is able to redirect nearly half of the exports that normally flow through the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea instead.

U.S. Economic Growth in 2026

The IMF predicts that the U.S. will have the highest GDP growth among large developed countries, on track for 2.3% in 2026. Boosts to growth come from government spending, interest rate cuts in 2025, and strong productivity. On the flip side, trade barriers and the Middle East war may create moderate drags on growth.

Charted: The $448B AI Spending Surge by Big Tech

2026-04-20 22:27:51

The $448B AI Spending Surge by Big Tech

See visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.

Key Takeaways

  • Big Tech AI capex nearly tripled from $162B in 2022 to $448B in 2025.
  • By late 2025, these companies were spending over $140B per quarter combined.
  • Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet account for the largest share of the increase.

Big Tech is pouring hundreds of billions into AI infrastructure as competition to scale models and cloud capacity intensifies.

This chart is part of Visual Capitalist’s AI Week, sponsored by Terzo. It shows quarterly capital expenditures for five hyperscalers—Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle—based on data from Epoch AI, using SEC filings from Q1 2022 to Q4 2025.

Spending accelerated sharply after mid-2023, reflecting a shift from experimentation to full-scale deployment of data centers, chips, and AI-ready cloud infrastructure.

The Big Tech Arms Race for AI

Big Tech’s capex surge signals an all-out infrastructure arms race, where scale in compute, data centers, and chips is becoming the defining advantage in AI.

Across Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle, combined capex rose from $162.3 billion in 2022 to $448.3 billion in 2025.

The data below shows a quarterly capex proxy for selected hyperscalers between 2022 and 2025.

Quarter Microsoft
(AI capex, $B)
Amazon
(AI capex, $B)
Alphabet
(AI capex, $B)
Meta
(AI capex, $B)
Oracle
(AI capex, $B)
2022 Q1 6.1 15.1 9.8 5.6 1.1
2022 Q2 8.0 15.8 6.8 7.6 1.4
2022 Q3 6.9 16.5 7.3 9.4 1.7
2022 Q4 6.9 16.9 7.6 9.4 2.4
2023 Q1 7.7 14.2 6.3 7.1 2.6
2023 Q2 9.8 11.7 6.9 6.4 1.9
2023 Q3 11.6 12.7 8.1 6.5 1.3
2023 Q4 11.5 14.8 11.0 8.1 1.1
2024 Q1 14.4 15.0 12.0 6.5 1.7
2024 Q2 18.6 17.8 13.2 8.4 2.8
2024 Q3 19.3 22.8 13.1 8.8 2.3
2024 Q4 22.2 28.3 14.6 14.7 4.0
2025 Q1 20.0 25.1 17.7 13.7 5.9
2025 Q2 23.6 33.1 22.5 17.1 11.1
2025 Q3 28.5 36.1 24.3 19.3 9.6
2025 Q4 36.2 40.5 28.5 22.5 13.0

The inflection point came in mid-2023, when AI spending shifted from gradual growth to a steep acceleration, marking the transition from early adoption to full-scale infrastructure buildout. Epoch AI estimates that combined capex at these five companies has been growing at an average annual rate of 72% since Q2 2023.

By Q4 2025, the five companies were spending a combined $140.6 billion in a single quarter. This surge underscores a fundamental shift. AI infrastructure is no longer a future bet, but a present-day cost of competing that is reshaping how the world’s largest tech companies allocate capital.

The growth was uneven, with Microsoft (+$30B), Amazon (+$25B), and Alphabet (+$19B) posting the biggest increases in quarterly capex from Q1 2022 to Q4 2025.

What Counts as AI Capex Here?

Epoch’s measure is based on two components pulled from SEC filings: cash spending on property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) and new finance leases. It uses structured 10-Q and 10-K filing data instead of company-reported capex figures, since firms do not always define capital expenditures the same way on earnings calls.

That makes the comparison more consistent, but it also comes with limits. Epoch notes that not all of this spending is exclusively AI-related, and excluded operating leases may understate total investment in productive capacity.
