In Hongkong, as in other places of small land areas, people are encouraged by the government to invest in gold and other precious metals, as they cannot easily invest in real estate with such limited geographical area.
Being a solid asset, gold is more stable than money in the bank, as the value of paper money can be eaten up fast by inflation throughout the years. Governments choose gold bullions to secure the paper notes they release.
Gold is a solid, stable investment and its value cannot be depreciated in time. Thus, one who decides to buy gold coins is making a wise investment choice. The value of gold appreciates even if there is a depression, or when a financial crisis is experienced by government. For another reason, gold has the ability to diversify investments which makes it a better asset to possess.
