A reserve manager from Asia explained: ‘Gold has been an integral part of our reserves regardless of market condition, and it may likely continue to be so.’”

USAGOLD note:  As a gold firm whose clientele buy and large owns gold for long-term asset preservation purposes, it was gratifying to learn that 64% of the central bankers surveyed saw “diversification benefits” as the most relevant reason for owning gold – the number one determinant by a wide margin.
