This is the difference between the purchase (fixed) prices of gold, at which clients gradually bought gold, and its current market price at the end of 2025. This result is all the more significant because the profit from investment gold is not subject to tax in most EU countries.

 

Gold has exceeded forecasts and continues to rise

The years 2024 and 2025 brought exceptional developments to the gold market. The price of gold in the US dollar has risen by more than 120% during this period, with an increase of more than 70% in the last year alone. Analysts have repeatedly pointed to strong demand from central banks, investors, and the growing importance of gold as a safe haven at a time of global economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

However, the positive trend continues in 2026. According to current data, the price of gold reached a new all-time high in January, when it exceeded the psychological threshold of USD 5,000 per ounce, even though it was only in October last year that gold actually reached the unimaginable milestone of USD 4,000 per ounce for many. Since then, the interval between the individual significant price boundaries has been visibly shortening and the pace of rise in the price of gold has become more and more dynamic, even in a sky-rocket character, and leading analytical houses are gradually increasing their price forecasts for gold for 2026. The rise is driven by increased demand for safe-haven assets, expectations of further monetary stimulus, and ongoing uncertainty in global markets.

It is the principle of gradual purchase, on which iiplan^® programs are built, that has enabled IBIS InGold clients to take full advantage of this development without the need to time the market and without being exposed to short-term price fluctuations.

"We live in a period when economic and geopolitical uncertainties are perceived by practically everyone. However, history has repeatedly shown that it is in such times that gold plays a key role in protecting the value of assets. The result of CZK 9.7 billion is not a coincidence, it is a consequence of a long-term, systematic approach and the trust of our customers in the proven value of gold," says Filip Horáček, IBIS InGold Sales Director.

"The fact that the price of gold continues to rise at a record high this year confirms that the long-term strategy of regular investing has a firm place in the portfolios of modern investors. We are very close to the historic milestone of CZK 10 billion. However, we do not see this fact as just a number, but as a commitment to continue what we do – to offer people stability in an unstable world," he adds.
