how the hell does Singapore have so much gold they are smaller than an ant
Ah yes, European Central Bank
I wonder what percentage of the German held gold is actually stolen gold from the occupied countries and victims of WW2.
I’d really like to see the economic reasoning of the French central bank and the UK central bank for each of their holdings. The two economies are almost exactly the same in size, but they each have very different policies on reserves. I guess the UK is the outlier, not that it’s bad, I have no idea, it’s just a curiosity.
Better than France, task achieved
What is Lebanon doing with all that gold?
Wonder how much Germany’s gold was actually stolen during 2nd ww.
how much of that gold is at home and how much of it is “safe” in the us?
The German gold reserves have nothing to do with the Nazi era. Germany had no gold reserve anymore after the war. The reason it acquiered such a large one in the 50/60s was that the gold-based Bretton-Woods system which governed monetary exchange between states lead to an accumulation of gold for countries that export more than they import which Germany did a lot. (That’s what Wikipedia says. I’m not sure how this worked in detail.)
anyone wondering about Spain being “so low”, the soviets took it all basically
Wait…I remember Germany asking to get its gold back from the US in the early 2000’s and it became a problem because the US had some “difficulties” finding it. I cant remember what the end result was.
Waoh well this pretty much sums up the Gold Standard being gone in England!
Surprised at the lack of Vatician or Papel States
Gordon Brown is a twat.
Would be nice if the US could let other countries check for themselves that the gold is still there
They don’t just store their gold but also the gold from different countries
In 2002 Portugal had 607 tonnes, yet for some stupid reason the Bank of Portugal sold 224 tonnes between 2002 and 2006. I don’t know why this isn’t talked about more here in Portugal, in my view it was a crime, there was no reason to sell at all, nevermind so much.
Edit: We actually had 866 tonnes by the end of the dictatorship, in 1974, so there’s that.
We got black gold
More than Finland
Great succes
Sadly Russia (at that time the Soviet Union) take our gold 🙁
Fun fact, Indian people own more gold collectively than US or any other country.
Suprised erdogan didnt steal it all.
Most of our gold holdings are being kept safe in the mouths of the “80’s-90’s” generation.
Nobody’s audited the US Gold reserves in what, 30 years?
Most of our gold reserves are probably used to cover the People’s Salvation Cathedral.
Did you just call Taiwan a country? … nice
Metric tons of metal shite
Ironically too few African and South American countries. It’s a shameful list, really. Most of this gold is stolen.
I love gollllld
Why would you store gold when you can store potatos instead.
Is there really a single ton left in Turkey? I somehow have doubt of that 😉
How tf is Lebanon so high up in this list when the country is considered dirt poor? That’s infuriating!
I expected more from Switzerland
i first thought this was about the olympics lmao
Considering our absolute love for hard cash compared to virtual money and our paranoia when we even hear the word “inflation”; harbouring gold like a dragon as insurance is hardly suprising
Good for you OP now Anunnaki’s will know where to strike first…
Schland!!! Schland!!!
Lebanon above Spain and Osterreich? Nice to see lol
Nice one Gordon. We’d be in the top 10 if not for your shenanigans.
