The World Gold Council is the market development organisation for the gold industry. It works across all parts of the industry, from gold mining to investment, with the aim of stimulating and sustaining demand for gold.[1]

It frequently publishes research that demonstrates gold's strength as a preserver of wealth – both for investors and countries. It also provides analysis of the industry, offering insights into the drivers of gold demand. It has also launched various products such as SPDR Gold Shares and gold accumulation plans in India and China.[2]

The World Gold Council[3] is an association whose members comprise the world's leading gold mining companies.[4] It helps to support its members to mine in a responsible way and developed the Conflict Free Gold Standard.[5]

Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, it has offices in India, China, Singapore and the United States.[6] David Harquail became new president. WGC appoints David Tait as the CEO.[7]
