Economies of scale, also known as cost advantages of scale, refer to the reduction in production expenses and business experiences when it expands output and operates more efficiently. In other words, as a company grows in size and production volume, it can achieve lower per-unit costs and gain a competitive cost advantage. These savings can then be used to boost profit margins or passed on to customers in the form of lower prices, thereby strengthening the company’s market positions.

Central banks, including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), are increasingly buying gold to diversify away from dollar-linked holdings, especially amid economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability.

While global gold purchases in the first half of 2025 slowed to 415 tonnes (down from 525 tonnes last year), this trend still signals strategic investment in non-dollar assets.

The RBI bought nearly half a tonne of gold in the last week of June, raising its total gold holdings to 808 tonnes.

Gold is being seen as a safe and strategic asset by central banks, despite price fluctuations.

Experts highlight that gold’s role in portfolio diversification and economic security is a key reason for this ongoing trend.
