Florian Warweg wrote that after France, the Netherlands has now also withdrawn a large part of its gold reserves from the USA, citing "geopolitical risks" as the reason. He asked the federal government whether it shares this assessment of its EU partners and what it means for the 1,200 tons of German gold in New York. To put the response from the Federal Ministry of Finance into context, Warweg explained that the federal government is the owner of the state assets stored at the Federal Reserve, valued at around 160 billion euros. The Bundesbank merely manages it on behalf of the federal government. #Goldreserven #Geopolitik #Bundesregierung (translated)
