Calls are growing louder for Germany to rethink its practice of storing gold abroad. Economists warn that political uncertainty could affect long-term security.
Over 1,200 tonnes of German gold are stored in the United States. This represents a major share of national reserves.
Advocates of repatriation argue that Germany should prepare for unpredictable global developments. They believe domestic storage offers greater assurance.
Opponents caution that sudden changes could disrupt financial confidence. They stress that Germany’s gold is well protected.
The government continues to adopt a wait-and-see approach. The debate is expected to continue.
