As we were explained in National Bank of Belarus, the ingot market shows steady growth of demand for gold, silver and platinum. Recent period saw significant growth in market turnover. Additionally, it welcomes more and more new speculators as Belarusian banks gradually acquire licenses for operations with precious metals. Besides, Belarus National Bank annulled license fee for operations with precious metals from October 1. Before this banks had to pay Euro 10 thousand. According to experts, this will make the ingot market even more attractive and interesting.
In general, speaking on international market of precious metals, experts predict further price advance. This is explained by the uncertainty of world economy. Therefore precious metals are still interesting as objects for investments.
