   sellers of gold, whereas those in the East have
   bought more gold than they sold

       CENTRAL BANKS AND GOLD

1. Gold played a major role for the economic
   policy of a state, as many countries either
   issued gold coins as means of payment, or
   pegged their national currency to gold
2. This leads to a fixed exchange rates and
   fosters international trade
10

       CENTRAL BANKS AND GOLD

1. The monetary system, in which the standard
   economic unit of account is a fixed weight of
   gold is called gold standard
2. Most Western countries followed this system
   from the end of the 19th century until the 2nd
   World War
11

       CENTRAL BANKS AND GOLD

1. Under the gold standard, central banks had
   the duty to keep the gold reserves at a certain
   levels to guarantee the gold pegging of their
   currencies
2. The successor of the classical gold standard
   was the Bretton Woods System (1946 – 1971)
12

       CENTRAL BANKS AND GOLD

1. Under the Bretton Woods System many
   countries fixed their exchange rate to the US
   dollar. And the US Central Bank fixed the
   dollar to gold (with around US$ 35 per ounce)
2. The end of Bretton Woods introduced
   floating exchange rates which diminished the
   role of gold as part of the monetary policy
13

       CENTRAL BANKS AND GOLD

1. Therefore, gold as part of the reserves of
   central banks shrunk from 60 per cent in 1980
   to 8.6 per cent in March 2005
2. In September 2010, gold constituted 10.1 per
   cent of central banks’ reserves
