Why the Bundesbank gets the gold reserves to Germany
On Wednesday, the Federal Bank introduces a new concept for supporting the German gold reserves. First details of the plans.

Currently, the gold of the Bundesbank outsourced their claims to New York, London, Paris and Frankfurt. In the American Federal Reserve store 45 percent of the total 3,396 tonnes of gold in the Bank of England in London, 13 percent, in the Bank of France in Paris eleven percent and 31 percent at its headquarters in Frankfurt. This distribution is about to change.

Bundesbank board member Carl-Ludwig Thiele had already said last fall that there was no compelling reason for storage in the French capital. Originally, the Federal Republic had during the Cold War and the division of Germany for security its gold to various partner countries, including France distributed. This argument no longer applies. Paris still speaks against another argument: Unlike in London or New York, the Bundesbank would receive in the event of a world crisis, no foreign currency.
