In 2023, Brazil's import of non-monetary gold in semi-manufactured forms stood at a specific base from which the forecast for 2024 shows an increase to 209.78 kg. This trend, however, reverses in subsequent years with a forecasted annual decline to 197.06 kg in 2025, followed by reductions to 184.6 kg in 2026, 172.39 kg in 2027, and finally 160.43 kg in 2028. Year-on-year, this signifies a consistent decrease, reflecting a noteworthy downward trend from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch include:
- Global economic conditions affecting demand for gold.
- Inflation and currency fluctuations impacting import decisions.
