According to the data, the Arab countries combined have 1292.9 tons of gold, which represents 3.79% of the total reserves of the countries of the world.

The data shows that Saudi Arabia topped the Arab countries with gold reserves, which amounted to 323.1 tons, which secured 17th place globally. The Kingdom’s gold reserves constitute 0.94% of the world reserves

Lebanon ranked second with reserves of 286.8 tons (0.84% of the world reserves), followed by Algeria with 173.6 tons (0.50% of the world reserves), and Libya with 116.6 tons (0.34% of the world reserves). Iraq has 96.3 tons (0.28% of the world reserves).

Gold prices have been rising recently as a safe haven, amid a raging trade war between China and the United States, which has overshadowed the growth of the global economy.

Since the beginning of this year, the price of gold has risen from 1281.3 dollars to be traded now at 1513 dollars.
