Germany Faces Growing Pressure to Secure Gold at Home

Germany is facing growing pressure from economists to secure more of its gold reserves at home. The calls are linked to changing geopolitical realities.

The country’s gold reserves are among the largest globally, with nearly €164 billion worth stored in the United States. This reflects historic financial arrangements.

Critics argue that reliance on foreign storage exposes Germany to unnecessary risks. They say national assets should be kept domestically.

Opponents caution that such a move could signal distrust toward allies. They stress the importance of international cooperation.

Officials continue to emphasize stability and caution. The debate remains ongoing.
