Central banks keep gold status quo

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – The Swiss National Bank has joined several other central banks in signing a fourth agreement covering their gold holdings.

The first such five-year agreement was in 1999. The new one goes into effect in September 2014.

The central bankers have declared their intentions, stating that:

- gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves
- the participants in the gold agreement will continue to coordinate their gold transactions so as to avoid market turmoil
- the participants currently have no plans to sell any substantial quantities of gold.

The agreement was signed by the SNB, the European Central Bank (ECB), the central banks of the euro area (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain) and the Swedish Riksbank.
