Germany is facing renewed pressure to reconsider its overseas gold storage strategy. Economists are questioning whether the policy still fits today’s realities.
More than 1,200 tonnes of German gold are stored in the United States. This reflects historical choices made during a different geopolitical era.
Critics argue that today’s political climate demands greater caution. They believe repatriation would reduce exposure to foreign risk.
Others caution that sudden changes could destabilize markets. They stress that Germany benefits from international storage.
Officials continue to assure the public that the reserves are secure. No policy shift has been confirmed.
