Netherlands Repatriates Gold Reserves Amid Global Uncertainty

The Dutch central bank relocated 86 tonnes of gold from the US and Canada to London to ensure the assets remain readily available during potential future crises.

Central banks have accumulated an annual average of 1,000 tonnes of gold over the past four years, significantly increasing from the previous average of 500 tonnes.

While 27 tonnes were physically transported to the Dutch town of Zeist before moving to London, other portions were managed through sales and purchases to avoid logistical risks.
