Beginning and advanced gold investors must be interested in what happened to the price of gold in 2021&nbsp;and how the fundamentals laid last year will affect the price of the precious metal this year. As usual, the rises and falls in the gold price last year were caused by several important factors. These were mainly concerns about record inflation and rising debt.

Last year, central banks were buying gold in bulk. They keep 13% of their foreign exchange reserves in gold

The US investment bank Goldman&nbsp;Sachs is urging investors to increase their gold investments. It could mean safety for them in a&nbsp;world of uncertain assets. How far will the price of gold rise this year and why is this year a&nbsp;unique investment opportunity? In the following text, we will explain the reason why investing in precious metals this year is not only profitable, but also necessary.

We are at the end of&nbsp;2021, so let us briefly review it. First of all, we would like to thank you for the trust you give our company.

Gold – security for the next period

In 2022, gold is likely to rise again. This is the prediction of the BlackRock investment fund. It has approximately $9&nbsp;trillion in assets under its management, making the fund one of the largest players in the market. According to BlackRock, the main driver of the precious metal's price growth will be low real interest rates together with Americans' demand for assets protecting their investments from the expected decline in stock prices.

Nowadays, one major theme is resonating among investors. What will the gold price be in&nbsp;2022? Will it rise, stay the same, or fall? Gerald&nbsp;Moser, strategist at Barclays&nbsp;Bank, has also come up with an analysis of the gold price next year, and his predictions are more than interesting.

What is&nbsp;the real price of&nbsp;gold? Why does it retain value and why does its price rise with the rate of&nbsp;inflation? Precious metal is&nbsp;often said to be a&nbsp;safe haven for finance and a&nbsp;store of&nbsp;value. It protects your money in&nbsp;economic crises while securing other assets in&nbsp;your portfolio. You must have heard this before, and if&nbsp;you put money in&nbsp;gold, you also take advantage of&nbsp;it. And that's good.

Banks haven’t stopped buying gold—even after last year’s record purchases. On the&nbsp;contrary, in the&nbsp;first quarter of this year alone they added another 244&nbsp;tonnes of the&nbsp;precious metal to their official reserves. This comes from the&nbsp;regular quarterly report of the World Gold Council. So how did the first three months of&nbsp;2025 look from the perspective of central banks?
