World Gold Council

The World Gold Council is an international trade association for the gold industry. It is headquartered in London and has offices in India, China, Singapore, the UAE and the United States. The organization's members are gold mining companies. David Harquail is its president and David Tait is the CEO. Its aim is stimulating and sustaining demand for gold through market development.

World Gold Council was founded in 1987 in a merger with South African company Intergold, inheriting its international offices. At the time imports of the South African Krugerrand had been banned in multiple countries to protest South Africa's apartheid.

It publishes research advocating for gold, various products such as SPDR Gold Shares and gold accumulation plans in India and China, and films promoting its corporate activity. Provided by Wikipedia
