The Bundesbank successfully continued its transfers of gold last year. In 2016, more than 216 tonnes of gold were transferred to Frankfurt am Main from storage locations abroad: 111 tonnes from New York and 105 tonnes from Paris.

How can I spot counterfeit money? How did Germany’s gold reserves come into being? Interesting expert lectures, contests with wonderful prizes on offer and activities for children: the Bundesbank’s stand at the Frankfurt Book Fair had much to offer to visitors.

Last year, the Deutsche Bundesbank successfully completed the transfer of its gold stocks from New York. "The realisation of the gold storage plan is therefore well ahead of the original schedule," said Carl-Ludwig Thiele, Member of the Bundesbank’s Executive Board, at a press conference in Frankfurt am Main.

Die Bundesbank hat eine Liste über den Bestand ihrer Goldbarren nach Lagerorten veröffentlicht: Sie enthält Informationen über die Barren-, Melt- oder Inventarnummern, das Brutto- und Feingewicht sowie die Feinheit der einzelnen Goldbarren.

The Bundesbank's relocation of gold from storage locations abroad is running very much according to schedule. In 2015, 110 tonnes from Paris and 100 tonnes from New York were transferred to Frankfurt. "With 1,402.5 tonnes of gold, Frankfurt has been our largest storage location, ahead of New York, since the end of last year," said Carl-Ludwig Thiele, Member of the Executive Board of the Bundesbank.

Die Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) und 21 weitere Notenbanken haben als Unterzeichner des Goldabkommens (Central Bank Gold Agreement) beschlossen, das Abkommen nach dessen Auslaufen im September 2019 nicht zu erneuern.
