荷兰央行本周宣布将86吨黄金从美国和加拿大转移至伦敦，这是其总计约313吨黄金储备中的一部分12。转移工作在2024年3月至8月期间进行，黄金目前存放于英格兰银行12。荷兰央行行长奥拉夫·斯莱伊彭表示："我们期望永远不需要使用它们，但我们需要加强抵御能力和准备"12。
欧洲多国央行正在采取类似措施重新调整黄金储备配置12。德国央行曾在截至2016年的几年间转移超过216吨黄金，其中从纽约转移111吨，从巴黎转移105吨12。法国央行今年已将黄金储备转回国内12。这些行动反映了在全球地缘政治局势不稳定背景下，各国加强金融韧性的策略12。
央行黄金储备需求持续上升12。过去四年，央行年均累积1000吨黄金，远高于前十年平均500吨的水平12。英格兰银行地下金库目前存有约40万根金条，价值超过2000亿英镑12。黄金价格在1月突破每盎司5000美元12，高盛预测该价格将在2026年底升至每盎司4900美元12。
The Dutch central bank announced this week that it has transferred 86 tonnes of gold from the United States and Canada to London, citing concerns over geopolitical instability 12. The relocation, which took place between March and August 2024, represents part of a broader trend among European nations to strengthen their financial resilience by repositioning gold holdings away from North America.
The transferred gold is now held at the Bank of England, which maintains an underground vault containing approximately 400,000 gold bars valued at over £200 billion 12. Olaff Sleijpen, president of the Dutch central bank, explained the strategic rationale: "We expect never to need to use them, but we need to strengthen our resilience and preparedness" 12. This move aligns with similar actions by other European central banks. Germany relocated over 216 tonnes of gold between New York and Paris by 2016 12, while France announced earlier this year that it would repatriate its gold reserves from the United States 12.
The shift reflects a broader pattern of central bank behaviour in an uncertain global environment. Over the past four years, central banks have accumulated gold at an average rate of 1,000 tonnes annually, significantly higher than the 500-tonne average of the previous decade 12. Gold prices reached a milestone of $5,000 per ounce in January, though Goldman Sachs forecasts the price will settle at $4,900 per ounce by the end of 2026 12.
