In 2025, gold prices grew by 11% after an increase of 27% last year. This price rise was driven by the strengthening of the dollar and instability in global markets. Economists believe that investors prefer to turn to gold as a more stable asset in conditions of global uncertainty. "Gold has always been considered a safe haven during times of instability, and recently we have seen an increased interest in this precious metal," noted Finnish analyst Ivanov. "Investors and central banks are striving to balance their portfolios, putting funds into safer assets, which is driving up the price of gold." Experts suggest that the further strengthening of gold may continue in the coming months, but much will depend on the dynamics of the global economy and geopolitical circumstances.
