Hong Kong imported 112.7 tonnes of Russian gold in the first seven months of the year, exceeding the previous full-year total of 92.1 tonnes, according to BullionVault calculations from Hong Kong statistics cited by VnExpress. The figures illustrate a shift in trade flows following Western restrictions on Russian gold. Experts quoted in the article pointed to Hong Kong's role as a gateway to mainland China. The 112.7-tonne amount covers seven months, rather than a single day or the whole of 2026.
