Germany is reconsidering the safety of its gold reserves stored overseas amid shifting global political dynamics. Economists are voicing concerns about long-term access and control.
The country holds nearly €450 billion worth of gold, second only to the United States. About 37% of these reserves are stored in New York.
Some experts argue that political unpredictability abroad could pose risks. They believe Germany should prioritize direct access to its strategic assets.
Others emphasize that international storage has long supported financial stability. They argue that diversification reduces overall risk.
Government officials continue to reassure the public that Germany’s gold is secure and well managed. No immediate changes are planned.
