Gold Investment in Malaysia

1. Gold Investment Account of Public Bank Berhad or Maybank
  • Investment account allows customers to purchase and sale of gold commodity (999.9 fineness) at daily prices in Ringgit Malaysia.
  • Transactions are recorded in the passbook for convenience of withdrawal & deposit.
  • Invest in gold without having to keep the gold physically.
  • Small difference between selling & buying prices.
  • Cheaper option compared to invest in gold jewellery as the jewellery shop will charge higher price due to workmanship cost.
  • Capital gain if the price of gold increases.
  • Affortable investment as initial purchase of 20 grams (20 grams X selling price on May 10,2011 at RM148.98 at PBB = RM2,979.60)
  • Transactions can be made during working days.
Gold price had been achieved 461% growth since 2001. With increasingly demands of gold commodity around the world (especially India & China), the tendency of central banks' decision to increase gold reserve, inflation pressure, unstable political & economics and terrorism issues, the gold price will certainly continue its growing trend in the future.
Most of the europe countries (Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Greece) & United States hold more than 60% of gold as their national reserve. However, China, Japan, S.Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailad, Malaysia are the world top 20 in national reserve in curreny & gold, only holds less than 5% as gold reserve, which means the reserve in these countries are mostly made up by Fiat Currency (paper money - value declared by goverment with no intrinsic value).


Thus, appreciation of Gold will certainly increase the wealth of the western nations.
