Overseas Gold Storage Becomes Hot Topic in Germany

Overseas gold storage has become a hot topic in Germany as economists question long-standing practices. The debate reflects growing unease about global stability.
Germany’s gold reserves are valued at almost €450 billion, with a significant share held in US vaults. This arrangement dates back decades.
Supporters of bringing the gold home argue that national wealth should be directly accessible at all times. They view gold as a pillar of financial sovereignty.
Others caution that repatriation could disrupt international confidence. They say the current system has proven resilient.
The government continues to assure citizens that the reserves are secure. The debate shows no signs of slowing.
