The statistics show quarterly figures on the global demand for gold in the period from 2009 to 2012, broken down by purpose. The demand for physical gold is greater than the supply via mine production. The balance is established by reprocessing (scrap) and also to a large extent by central bank sales. In the fourth quarter of 2012, global gold demand totalled about 1,196 tonnes (figures include public sector purchases), while demand for gold for jewellery production was about 525 tonnes.
