The Dutch do what the Germans couldn’t: Get their gold back

“The Dutch central bank has secretly brought a large chunk of the European nation’s gold reserves held in New York back to Amsterdam.  In total, 120 tonnes of gold valued worth nearly $5 billion were brought back to the Netherlands by ship in what according to some accounts resembled a military operation carried out over months.  The central bank decided to bring some of its gold reserves back to the Dutch capital to ensure a more even spread of bullion, the bank said in a statement.  According to the World Gold Council’s latest data the Netherlands has 612.5 tonnes of official gold reserves (roughly 50% of total reserves), worth some $23.5 billion.”
