🚨 ALERT: Russia’s Gold Buffer Is Melting Fast 🇷🇺💰
New disclosures from Russian outlets paint a worrying picture of the country’s financial reserves. Over the last three years, Russia has reportedly liquidated around 70% of the gold once held in its National Wealth Fund.
Back in mid-2022, the fund stored over 550 tons of gold. As of early 2026, that figure has fallen to roughly 160 tons, now parked in undisclosed Central Bank accounts. That’s a massive drawdown in a very short time span.
At the same time, the fund’s remaining liquid assets (gold + yuan) are estimated at about 4.1 trillion rubles. Some analysts caution that if current oil prices and ruble conditions don’t improve, another major chunk — possibly more than half of what’s left — could be spent within this year alone.
Why does this matter?
This fund acts as Russia’s financial shock absorber. As it thins out, the government’s room to maneuver shrinks — affecting everything from public spending and infrastructure to long-term economic stability.
📉 Bottom line: Russia’s financial cushion is being rapidly depleted, and the clock may be ticking faster than many expected. How sustainable is this path if external pressures continue?
