Germany’s policy on where it stores its gold reserves is coming under review. Experts are questioning whether the approach still suits today’s world.
A large share of German gold remains in US vaults, a legacy of post-war financial planning. This strategy once offered strong security.
Critics say the risks have evolved. They argue that political unpredictability should be taken seriously.
Supporters of the policy stress continuity and trust. They warn against destabilizing established financial relationships.
Officials maintain that the gold is secure and audited. No changes have been confirmed.
