Investors looking to increase their gold profits may want to make money transfers after hearing that China has seen a surge in terms of generating demand for the precious metal.
The World Gold Council’s latest Gold Demand Trends revealed the country remains at the “cultural heartland” of gold, behind the frontrunner India.
In 2011, jewellery made from the metal accounted for 500 tonnes (t) worth of India’s 933.4t demand, while 25 per cent of the total bar and coin interest worldwide came from the nation.
China saw annual demand rise 20 per cent year-on-year, with the largest increase noted in investment, which leaped 69 per cent.
In the second half of 2011, the country was the leading single jewellery market worldwide.
Marcus Grubb, managing director of investment at the World Gold Council, commented: “It is likely that China will emerge as the largest gold market in the world for the first time in 2012.”
Combined, India and China generated 55 per cent of global jewellery demand and 49 per cent of total interest in the precious metal in 2011.
“What we can see from these 2011 figures is that there were two main factors driving the results: Asian growth and optimism on the one hand and western desire to protect assets against uncertainty on the other,” Mr Grubb remarked.
Global demand for gold rose to 4,067t last year, which is an estimated value of $205.5 billion (£130 billion) and marked the highest tonnage level since 1997.
The main reason for this increase was the investment sector, where it was noted annual demand was up 1,640.7t on the previous record set in 2010.

60 years of The Queen’s reign
The Queen came to the throne on 6 February 1952 and her coronation took place on 2 June 1953.
2012 IS THE DIAMOND JUBILEE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II. THE JUBILEE COINCIDES WITH THE LONDON OLYMPICS AND THE TWO OCCASIONS COMBINED MAKE 2012 AN UNPRECEDENTED YEAR OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE UK JEWELLERY AND GIFTWARE INDUSTRY. The Queen is only the second British Monarch to serve for 60 years and major celebrations are anticipated. A special commemorative hallmark has been approved, which will be an optional mark available from all four UK assay offices in combination with a statutory hallmark.
The chosen mark depicts a young Queen Elizabeth wearing an oversized crown in a diamond shaped surround. The mark can be struck on gold, silver,platinum or palladium from 1st July 2011 until 1st October 2012 and will be officially launched in July 2011. Date letters will be maintained as usual – ie ‘m’ until 31st December 2011 and ‘n’ throughout 2012.

The Jewellery Quarter is an area of Birmingham City Centre, England, situated in the south of the Hockley area. It is covered by the Ladywood district.
It is synonymous with the manufacture of jewellery, coins and medals in Birmingham and has been the birthplace of many pioneering advancements in industrial technology. The Jewellery Quarter’s importance in the international jewellery industry has declined much throughout the 20th century and is now being transformed into an urban village and hub for creative businesses, whilst trying to maintain its urban fabric. Its historical importance has led to numerous conservation schemes and it is an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
