Economists Renew Calls for Germany to Bring Gold Home

Economists in Germany have renewed calls for the country to bring gold reserves back from overseas locations. The debate reflects rising geopolitical uncertainty.
Germany holds one of the world’s largest gold reserves, with more than 1,200 tonnes stored in the United States. This policy dates back decades.
Supporters of repatriation argue that national assets should not depend on foreign political stability. They favor greater independence.
Critics warn that such a move could provoke unnecessary tension. They argue that trust between partners remains strong.
The government continues to urge caution. Officials say Germany’s gold remains secure.
