Germany’s decision to store part of its gold reserves abroad is raising questions about sovereignty. Economists warn that geopolitical shifts could increase risks.
More than one-third of Germany’s gold is stored in the United States. The remainder is kept in Frankfurt and London.
Supporters of repatriation say national wealth should be protected from foreign political pressures. They argue gold is a strategic asset.
Opponents believe the concerns are overstated. They emphasize the stability of existing arrangements and international cooperation.
Government officials continue to assure the public that Germany’s gold is safe. No immediate action is planned.
