German Central Bank Publishes Gold Bar List

The central bank of Germany, the Bundesbank, has published the bar list of all German official gold reserves stored in Frankfurt am Main, London, Paris and New York. The list contains the bar numbers, melt or inventory numbers, the gross and fine weight as well as the fineness of the gold. German official gold reserves account for 3,384 tonnes and is the second largest after the US.

Although the German bar list is anything but complete (it misses the refiner brands, refinery bar number and year of manufacturing) it seems the Germans are increasing the pressure on the FRBNY by releasing the list of bars they have stored at the four locations (Frankfurt, Paris, London, New York). Leaving the FRBNY no other option than returning the exact bars that belong to Germany.
