Goldreserven: Notenbank der Niederlande verlagert Gold von Nordamerika nach London
Ein Teil der niederländischen Goldreserven liegt künftig in London. 86 Tonnen wechseln vom Standort Nordamerika. Die Notenbank verspricht sich davon mehr Flexibilität in Krisenzeiten.
Amsterdam - The Dutch Central Bank has relocated parts of its gold reserves from US and Canadian vaults to London over the past six months, transferring a total of 86 tons, it announced on Wednesday. The move aims to enhance tradability and prepare for potential crises. Approximately 27.5% of the gold reserves stored in North America have been transferred.
Gold in the Bank of England's vaults is considered the easiest to trade globally, making it the quickest available in times of crisis, explained Central Bank chief Olaf Sleijpen. The relocation involved the sale of around 59 tons of gold in New York and simultaneous purchase in London in accordance with the Bank of England's international market standards. Additionally, 27 tons of gold were physically moved from the Dutch vault in Zeist to London.
