Growing Enthusiasm for Gold Among Indonesian Investors

In its report released on November 12, the WGC confirms that the majority of Indonesian investors show strong interest in returning to gold investments. Among those who have bought gold before, around 85 percent plan to consider purchasing gold again within the next 12 months. Meanwhile, another 14 percent intend to invest at a later time.

Interest is also strong among those who have never invested in gold. Approximately 26 percent say they are considering starting within the next year, while as many as 62 percent express interest in investing sometime in the future.

Why This Trend Is Happening

This pattern reflects the growing desire among Indonesians to secure their financial futures in uncertain times. Many investors see gold as a more stable option compared to other instruments due to:

  1. Ease of buying and selling
    Gold—whether in bars, coins, or digital form—has become increasingly accessible.

  2. Consistent performance
    Gold is widely viewed as a reliable asset that maintains value during economic turbulence.

  3. A more mature investment mindset
    Many Indonesian families are now prioritizing long-term financial security.

In a presentation in Jakarta, Shaokai Fan, Head of Asia Pacific (ex-China) and Global Head of Central Banks at the WGC, reaffirmed that gold has long been a trusted asset among Indonesian households.

Gold Among Other Financial Instruments

According to the WGC report, more than 60 percent of respondents hold some form of gold investment. This percentage is among the highest across financial instruments, second only to savings accounts, which are owned by more than 70 percent of Indonesians. This positions gold as one of the most dominant assets within Indonesian investment portfolios.
