The Bundesbank will repatriate 674 metric tons of gold from vaults in Paris and New York by 2020 to restore public confidence in the safety of Germany’s reserves.

The phased relocation of the gold, currently worth about 27 billion euros ($36 billion), will begin this year and result in half of Germany’s reserves being stored in Frankfurt by the end of the decade, the Bundesbank said in a statement today. It will bring home all 374 tons of its gold held at the Banque de France and a further 300 tons from the New York Federal Reserve, it said. Holdings at the Bank of England will remain unchanged

Germany’s Audit Court sparked a debate about the country’s gold reserves last year when it called on the Bundesbank to take stock of its holdings abroad, saying their existence had never been verified. German gold reserves, the second-largest in the world after the U.S., amounted to 3,391 tons as of Dec. 31 and were valued at 137.5 billion euros.

well, the larger portion of the sum coming from France equals 374 tons. I wonder if it will have a impact there. Maybe no.

The germans were wise they should move their investments, gold, etc elsewhere or challenge uncle SAM

OK, and what is your reasoning in the 374 tons of Gold that they will be removing from France concurrently?

That Gold is not an Investment!

Yes, the USA, U.K. and France.
Germany first sent its reserves to foreign banks after the end of World War II for fears of it being in reach of a potential invading soviet army. Germany sent its gold to France, the U.K. and the United States for safekeeping.

Yes, after reading a bit it might seem that other than our fee from housing their money and maybe the status of having the largest reserve even though it is not all ours., there is not anything I could see impacting us unless we were making plans to do as Carl-Ludwig Thiele, a board member with the Bundesbank stated.
“The gold held with the New York Fed can, in a crisis, be pledged with the Federal Reserve Bank as collateral against U.S. dollar-denominated liquidity.”
I think we will be just fine.
