Guess which country tops these four lists and which is ranked 7th, 8th, not even on the list and 3rd respectively.

πŸ”— Exports the Most Christmas Decorations

πŸ”— Dominating Critical Mineral Refining in 2030

πŸ”— Stockpiling Most Gold Reserves Since 2000

πŸ”— Battery Manufacturing Investment

Sorry, the winner in the other 3 categories were only a close 2nd on Gold Reserves. (Although ‘1’ and ‘2’ had totals that are each just about the same as the rest of the list added together.

In fact those two countries

account for more than half of all gold stockpiled by central banks in the period.
