country which brought back its gold to home base, this according to reports
from the country’s media.
Reports from Turkish media outlet Yeni Safak suggest that the country
brought back all of its gold stored in the U.S. Federal Reserve. The reports
published Thursday indicate that the country repatriated 220 tons of from
the U.S. sometime last year. At the time of publication, Kitco News was
unable to confirm the news.
The country’s gold reserves currently rank eleventh in the world, behind
India, with about 526 metric tons, according to the data compiled by the The
Statistics Portal. As of March 2018, the Turkish central bank said its gold
reserves amounted to $25.3 billion.
Analysts told Kitco News that the move is likely politically motivated
rather than economic. The consensus being that Turkey is sending a message
to the U.S., with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan making currency his
priority. |
