Gold reserves
Bullion for you
Apr 27th 2011, 16:15 by The Economist online
Where the world's gold is held
THE creditworthiness of a country used to be judged by the level of its gold
reserves. Under the gold standard, a fall in reserves would lead to the
central bank taking crisis measures. The country with the biggest reserves
in the world is, not surprisingly, America, with 8,134 tonnes. But expressed
in terms of reserves per person, the picture looks very different. It is no
surprise to see Switzerland at the top of the list, but why is Lebanon in
second place? Its reserves were purchased when the country was the Middle
East’s financial centre in the 1960s and 1970s and safeguarded through the
civil war years by legal restrictions and by central-bank governor Edmond
Naim, who according to legend slept in the bank to protect the hoard. China
does not feature in the list at all; but gold bugs fantasise about what
might happen if the people’s republic were to swap just some of its
mountain of Treasury bonds for bullion. | p*****p
