Today, MEFMI commences the Regional Workshop on Investing in Gold in Windhoek, Namibia. Running from 24 to 27 August 2026, the workshop will examine gold's role as a strategic reserve asset and its contribution to diversification and resilience amid inflation, currency volatility and global economic uncertainty.

Participants will explore domestic gold purchase programmes, operational arrangements, hedging instruments and strategic asset-allocation considerations, while exchanging experiences and international practices in gold investment and sovereign reserve management.

For reserve managers and market practitioners: what is the strongest case for holding gold today: diversification, an inflation hedge, protection against currency volatility or resilience during uncertainty?
