Germany Reconsiders Where Its Gold Is Stored
A renewed discussion has emerged in Germany as some lawmakers and economists call for a review of the country’s long-standing policy of storing part of its gold reserves abroad, including at the US Federal Reserve.
Germany holds the world’s second-largest gold reserves, historically distributed across Frankfurt, New York, and London to support liquidity and financial flexibility. Supporters of a review argue that evolving geopolitical conditions make it reasonable to reassess reserve management strategies, with a focus on sovereignty, transparency, and risk diversification.
At the same time, the Bundesbank has reiterated that Germany’s gold stored overseas remains secure, audited, and fully accessible, emphasizing that current arrangements continue to support financial stability.
This discussion reflects a broader global trend of nations periodically evaluating how and where strategic reserves are held in a changing economic landscape.
❓ Engagement Question
Do you think countries should regularly reassess where their national reserves are stored, or should long-term arrangements remain unchanged?
