Algeria holds about 173.6 tonnes of official gold reserves, the largest amount held by any African central bank, according to World Gold Council data for 2026. 🇩🇿
That puts Algeria ahead of Libya, Egypt and South Africa in official gold holdings.
But having the most gold in reserve does not mean Algeria mines the most gold. Ghana remains Africa’s leading gold producer, producing roughly 6 million ounces in 2025.
Gold reserves are gold assets held or controlled by a country’s central bank, mainly as part of its financial reserves.
