from Gold Money: A few months ago the German Bundesbank displayed concern about the security of their gold being stored at the New York Federal Reserve. They called for an audit of their holdings, and while that still has not taken place, the intermediate resolution was to have 10% of their gold repatriated over a period of seven years. There has been no explanation of why it takes seven years to get such [...] The US Fed Still has not Disclosed What They’ve Done with Germany’s Gold Reserves! Enough to make a prudent man wonder how many other foreign central banks may have had their custodial gold ‘misplaced’ by the Fed, eh? Are you beginning to understand why the US Fed is terrified of an independent congressional audit? Grabbing ETF and COMEX gold is just a ‘walk in the park’. http://chasvoice.blogspot.com/2012/06/us-fed-still-has-not-revealed-what.html by Michael The big banks are breathlessly proclaiming that now is the time to sell your gold. They are warning that we have now entered a “bear market” for gold and that the price of gold will continue to decline for the rest of the year. So should we believe them? Well, their warnings might be more credible if the central banks of the world were not hoarding gold like crazy. During [...] by Phoenix Capital Research
Anyone who wants to get to the truth behind the inflationary threats to their wealth should ignore everything the Central Banks say about inflation and look instead at their actions.

This was up 6% in value terms in the fourth quarter to $66.2 billion, the highest fourth quarter on [...] Nouriel Roubini: Preparing for a Perfect Storm Stagnation in the developed world, uncertainty in China, and political instability in the Middle East could make for a rough 2013….

Forget Germany, Check Out Turkey’s Central-Bank Gold by Adrian Ash BullionVault Wednesday, 23 January 2012
Now here’s a central bank really putting gold to good use…
AMID the brouhaha over Germany’s gold reserves at the Bundesbank, there’s another central bank using gold actively to bolster its currency and financial stability. The strategy looks the same – sitting on big stockpiles of the stuff. But the aim differs, because gold is much closer to the everyday financial [...] In an uncertain global economic environment, central banks have been purchasing gold.
Some have argued that euro zone members should use gold as collateral for sovereign debt issuance to keep bond yields low. The World Gold Council estimates that central banks will have purchased 500 tons of gold in 2012, up from 465 tons last year. And gold prices have also been supported by central bank gold purchases. Global gold reserves total 31,491 tons as of December 2012. [...] from KWN:

Deutsche Bank analysts Daniel Brebner and Xiao Fu have just released a new report saying that gold is money (via Business Insider): While it is included in the commodities basket it is in fact a medium of exchange and one that is officially recognised (if not publically used as such). We see gold as an officially recognised form of money for one primary reason: it is widely held by most of the world’s larger [...] Total central bank gold purchases in the second quarter were more than double the level reported just one year earlier, as emerging market governments sought to diversify away from traditional reserve currencies amid heightened economic insecurity, according to World Gold Council data Thursday.
