SitiWanMahani - Bundesbank
Jerman merancang untuk menyimpan separuh rizab emas negara di dalam bilik kebal
sendiri pada tahun 2020. Ia akan bermakna pulangan 700 tan logam yang berharga
dari Amerika Syarikat dan Perancis
Tahun
ini Bundesbank kembali kira-kira 37 tan emas dari Amerika Syarikat dan
Perancis. Jumlah nilai emas kembali dianggarkan € 1.1 billion euro, ketua
Bundesbank, Jens Weidemann memberitahu akhbar Bild.
Weidemann
menjelaskan ia adalah sebahagian daripada program untuk meningkatkan rizab
diadakan di Frankfurt, dan tidak ada keraguan tentang keselamatan emas yang
diadakan di Amerika dan Perancis. “Rizab emas di negara ini akan disimpan di
Frankfurt kerana ia mempunyai simpanan khas dengan peralatan yang sama,” kata
Carl-Ludwig Thiele, ahli lembaga Bundesbank.
Sebahagian
besar daripada emas Jerman diadakan di bank-bank asing, terutamanya di New York
dan Paris. Pada awal tahun ini Bundesbank berkata (said)
ia bertujuan untuk menghantar pulang 700 tan emas bernilai € 27 bilion euro
pada tahun 2020.
Apabila
siap, separuh daripada rizab emas republik Persekutuan, atau kira-kira 3,400
tan akan disimpan di dalam negara. Semasa Perang Dingin takut serangan Soviet
kerajaan Jerman telah dihantar 2/3 daripada rizab emas ke UK, Perancis dan
Amerika Syarikat.
Baru-baru
ini, Bundesbank telah dikritik kerana tidak memegang rizab dalam Frankfurt,
jadi ia telah memutuskan bahawa beberapa perlu dibawa balik ke Jerman.
Mengangkut emas akan menjadi operasi keselamatan yang tinggi. Apabila Perancis memindahkan
rizab pada tahun 1966 ia menggunakan kapal selam.
Germany
to repatriate gold from US, France
Germany's
Bundesbank plans to store half the national gold reserves in its own vaults by
2020. It will mean the return of 700 tons of the precious metal from the US and
France
This
year the Bundesbank got back about 37 tons of gold from the US and France. The
total value of the returned gold is estimated at 1.1 billion euro, the head of
Bundesbank, Jens Weidemann told the Bild newspaper.
Weidemann
explained it is part of a program to increase the reserves held in Frankfurt,
and there was no doubt on the security of the gold held in America and France.
“The gold reserves of the country will be stored in Frankfurt because it has a
special storage with the corresponding equipment,” said Carl-Ludwig Thiele, a
Bundesbank board member.
A
large part of the German gold is held in foreign banks, primarily in New York
and Paris. At the beginning of this year the Bundesbank said
it intended to repatriate 700 tons of gold worth 27 billion euro by 2020.
Once
completed, a half of the Federal republic’s gold reserves, or about 3,400 tons
will be stored within the country. During the Cold War fearing a Soviet
invasion the German government shipped two-thirds of its gold reserves to the
UK, France and US.
Recently,
the Bundesbank has been criticised for not holding its reserves in Frankfurt,
so it has decided that some should be brought back to Germany. Transporting the
gold will be a high security operation. When France transferred its reserves in
1966 it used a submarine.
