Băncile europene își retrag discret rezervele de aur deținute în SUA. „Trebuie să ne întărim reziliența și să fim pregătiți”

The Dutch central bank has relocated 86 tons of gold from the US and Canada to London, citing geopolitical unrest and the need for better crisis preparedness. This move reflects a broader trend among European central banks to bring gold reserves closer to home amid global instability. The Bank of England was chosen for its status as a major trading hub, facilitating quick transactions in times of crisis. The relocation involved both physical transfers and sales on the New York exchange, with a significant amount of gold now stored in London. This strategy aligns with a growing trend of central banks accumulating gold, driven by rising prices and economic uncertainties.
