ical gold metal and (or) the purchase of gold futures can reduce the risks of the portfolio due to the volatility of the price of gold and its recognition as a global benchmark. Studies of the state and prospects of the gold market in Ukraine remain relevant, as trends in the world gold market show a steady increase in price and demand. The aim of the article is to study the current state of the world gold market, study the rating of gold and foreign exchange reserves of the leading countries, study modern mechanisms of gold trading, review the state of exchange trade in gold metal in Ukraine. General scientific research methods have been used to compare and analyze global trends in the world gold market and its main tools. The article determines that exchange trade in precious metals in Ukraine is underdeveloped and represented by the market of bank metals. Today's market does not meet global requirements and popularity. Private investors are not very active in buying gold futures. Normative provisions on gold trade provide for the movement of bank metals, gold for industrial needs, and gold scrap in Ukraine. It has been substantiated that the reasons for the lack of interest in placing gold futures in Ukraine are the lack of legislation on the private gold market, the low level of economic development of the country, the current geopolitical situation. It has been concluded that the development of the market of gold and precious metals is important, as its positive changes will add opportunities to start the movement of gold by releasing it from private savings into an investment vehicle. It has been concluded that the main content of state support for the development of the gold market in Ukraine is to create an opportunity for Ukrainians to compete with foreigners for investment in Ukrainian business. Issues of gold market development are relevant and require further research. Key words: precious metals market, gold, bank metal, ETF instruments, gold stock of the country, gold and foreign exchange reserves.


Significance However, sectoral mismanagement and elite-level corruption has meant that this resource is allegedly enriching a handful of politically connected individuals, while impoverishing many and destabilising swathes of the country. The government has recently begun dismantling the sole trader of gold in the country, Fidelity Printers and Refiners (FPR), seemingly offering a boost to the local gold market. Impacts Most gold will continue to be smuggled out of the country, depriving citizens and the state of crucial revenues. Zimbabwe will not reach the 40-tonne-per-year production target set by the government by 2023. Gold militias controlled by political elites will be an increasingly important source of political clout in moments of crisis.

Mining companies are increasingly seen as co-governors of sub-Saharan Africa's gold mining industries, sharing sovereignty with states through private governance initiatives. Using interviews with company executives from the continent's largest gold mining firms this paper highlights the private authority of these firms vis-à-vis the state. This paper firstly examines the globalization and governance literature, focusing on why states share sovereignty with non-state actors. Secondly, a “three faces of power” framework is employed to understand how authority is exercised. Thirdly, private governance regimes specific to the mining industry are outlined. Finally, individuals’ and firms’ attitudes towards these private governance regimes are examined through an analysis of elite interviews. The theoretical and empirical analysis demonstrates that firms are formulating rules in order to increase certainty and reduce investment risk. These firms are engaging in private governance initiatives to build reputations as industry experts thereby controlling the regulation of their sector, rather than sharing authority with states.

The purpose of this paper is to manifest the unrefined design of the transition of the currency system from centralized fiat money based on the US Dollar to the real currency system that relies on the precious metals-based currency after reviewing the rapid changes from the COVID-19 phenomenon to various sectors of life, including the currency system. This paper used qualitative research with a historical analysis approach or historiography that deals with precious metals-based currency in the pastime, and it is used to produce relevant analyses for the future. First, states that prefer to transition to a precious metals-based currency ought to combine them in a single political institution that can provide a strong bargaining position in politics. Second, they have to withdraw gold reserves from the major central banks by making a trade balance surplus paid only in precious metals. Third, at this transitional stage, the use of oil reserves as a political economy of energy to withdraw gold reserves at the major central banks and the issuance of money is temporary until the state is fully stable and a new wave of gold reserves begin to enter. The underlying study will provide a comprehensive analysis of the currency system scheme in this modern era. Previous works have only focused on the superior aspects of the precious metals-based system and criticisms of the fiat money system, without detailing the steps to supersede the fiat money-based system. This paper used qualitative research with a historical analysis approach or historiography. It attempted to fill this glaring gap and expected to produce a study for implementation within the state scope.
