The infographic titled “BRICS vs the West: The Gold Divide” illustrates the growing divergence between BRICS nations and Western countries in terms of gold accumulation and reserve strategy. It highlights how, since 2020, BRICS countries have rapidly increased the share of gold in their total foreign exchange reserves, driven by active central-bank buying, de-dollarization efforts, and rising gold prices. Visually, this trend is shown through comparative charts between Q3 2020 and Q3 2025, where BRICS gold holdings nearly double as a percentage of reserves, while Western countries record only modest growth.
The infographic contrasts aggregate reserve values, gold share percentages, and detailed country-by-country data, emphasizing nations such as China, Russia, and India. In contrast, Western reserves remain dominated by existing gold stocks, with increases largely reflecting price appreciation rather than new accumulation.
Overall, the visual narrative underscores gold’s rising strategic importance for BRICS and its implications for global monetary power and long-term demand.
