Earlier Report Observations

The Italian market for gold in powder and semi-manufactured forms was reshaped by regulatory reforms beginning in 2018. The abolition of the state gold monopoly allowed residents to buy and sell investment gold without VAT, broadening market participation, while stringent anti-money laundering rules enhanced transparency and control over transactions.

From 2019, demand for physical gold as a safe-haven asset surged due to economic uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic and expansionary central bank policies. This trend intensified with geopolitical tensions, notably the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, reinforcing gold's appeal and supporting increased imports and production. Consequently, the physical market volume grew from 278 t in 2020 to 363 t in 2023.

Continued net purchases of gold by central banks globally and further regulatory updates in Italy, such as alignment with EU cash control rules, sustained market activity. The market value stabilized around $9.7 billion in 2022-2023, reflecting the interplay between rising physical volume and gold price movements influenced by monetary policy and inflation concerns.
