According to a recent report from Thomson Reuters GFM, gold purchases from central banks in 2012 will total 493 metric tons, an increase of 7.9 percent. Central banks have expanded reserves to diversify from the dollar and protect themselves from a potential gain in inflation.

"The demand side is all about worldwide debasement of currencies and gold being seen as an alternative," GoldCorp's CEO Chuck Jeannes said on Sept. 10. "We see it with central banks buying gold and we see it with investors buying gold to protect themselves from the exposure to currencies that they don't have confidence in."
