Russian gold flows to Hong Kong surge despite sanctions, tripling 2025 volumes

Nearly 100 tons of Russian gold have reached Hong Kong by August 2026, triple the volume in 2025, indicating sanctions evasion via Hong Kong's financial hub. The surge suggests Western sanctions on Russian gold are being circumvented, with Hong Kong serving as a key conduit. This undermines sanctions effectiveness and may prompt further Western countermeasures.
