Singapore's Monetary Authority announced a gold storage service for foreign central banks and tax reductions for gold market companies to enhance its competitive edge. The service will allow central banks to store reserves in MAS facilities, which can hold up to 500 tons of gold. This initiative aligns with rising demand for gold as a reserve asset. Additionally, Singapore plans to launch an OTC gold transaction settlement system by the end of the year, with trading expected to start in March 2027. Meanwhile, central banks globally have increased gold purchases, with significant acquisitions reported in Q3 2026 despite market volatility.
