Italy’s massive gold reserves — among the largest in the world — are once again drawing attention in European financial discussions.
Here’s what’s actually verified:
🇮🇹 What’s TRUE
Italy holds over 2,450 tonnes of gold, valued at around $170–190B, making it the 3rd-largest gold holder globally (after the U.S. & Germany).
These reserves are legally owned by the Bank of Italy (Banca d’Italia) — not the ECB — and Italy has repeatedly emphasized that its gold remains under national ownership.
Political debates in Italy about sovereignty over national assets, including gold, have occurred multiple times in recent years.
Across Europe, discussions about central-bank independence, monetary policy, and national reserves continue to influence economic strategy and investor sentiment.$BTC
