Dutch Central Bank Moves Billions in Gold Reserves from US and Canada to London
The Dutch Central Bank relocated about 86 tonnes of gold, worth around $12 billion, from the US and Canada to London between March and August 2025. This move aims to enhance crisis preparedness and improve the tradability of the Netherlands' gold reserves amid rising geopolitical tensions and strained Europe-US relations. London’s active gold market and compliance with global standards make it a preferred storage hub. The transfer involved both selling gold in New York and physically moving bullion to London.
