最新的估计数字表明,1986年世界黄金市场的供求量有显著增加。这部分是由于西方国家的黄金产量增加,反映近年来对黄金进行广泛勘探的结果;部分是由于社会主义国家面临能源收入减少急需硬通货而向西方出售黄金数量增加的结果。在过去一年里,黄金的美元价格约增长了16％。南非黄金产量连续第三年下降,从1984年的683t减少到1985年的673t,又减少到1986年的638t。 The latest estimates show that there has been a significant increase in supply and demand in the world gold market in 1986. This is partly due to the increase in gold production in Western countries, reflecting the results of extensive exploration of gold in recent years; partly as a result of the increase in the amount of gold sold to the West by socialist countries in the face of reduced energy revenue and the need for hard currency. In the past year, the gold price of gold has increased by about 16%. South African gold production has declined for the third consecutive year, from 683t in 1984 to 673t in 1985, and to 638t in 1986.
