HQLA.Gold -A New Website From The World Gold Council and The London Bullion Market Association
A Definitive Guide To Gold’s Role In Global Banking Stability
High‑Quality Liquid Assets (HQLAs) sit at the core of global banking regulation, designed to ensure financial institutions can withstand periods of market disruption. Traditionally, this category has been dominated by cash and government bonds. But growing market transparency and new data now allow a fresh examination of gold’s liquidity characteristics.
Drawing on Basel III criteria, robust market data, and recent academic analysis, HQLA.gold is a go-to source to explore how gold measures up against the defining features of HQLAs — including low risk, ease of valuation, market depth, resilience under stress, and its role as a flight‑to‑quality asset.
Developed jointly by the World Gold Council (WGC) and the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the site brings together regulatory context, market evidence, and clear explanations to help investors, policymakers, and market participants better understand gold’s role within today’s financial system.
WGC and LBMA are committed to working together for the advancement of gold’s reclassification as a High-Quality Liquid Asset.
