MXThe Netherlands has moved approximately 94.8 metric tons of gold reserves from North America to London over five months, describing the move as a 'preparation for crises' amid global political unrest. The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) transferred the gold from storage facilities in New York and Ottawa to a secure vault near Zeist, Netherlands, and then to London. This action reduced the share of Dutch gold held in North America from around 51% to 37%. The bank emphasized that the gold in London is more liquid and accessible during emergencies compared to the reserves in North America. The total value of the Netherlands’ gold reserves was estimated at €72.2 billion ($83.6 billion) by the end of 2025.
