Hong Kong Aims to Become a Global Gold Hub Amid Iran Conflict

According to experts interviewed by the South China Morning Post, China's special administrative region stands to benefit by becoming a primary gateway for gold flows related to "Belt and Road" economies.

The driving force behind this shift lies in growing distrust toward the reliability of Western nations' gold reserves amid the Iran conflict crisis.

Hong Kong stands out due to its geographic location and close economic ties with mainland China.

This positions the region as a financial intermediary for Global South countries—currently the main sources of gold demand.
