September 2, Fineko/abc.az. The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) has transferred more than 25% of its gold reserves stored in North America—around 86 tons from New York and Ottawa—to London amid escalating geopolitical risks and crisis management strategies.

DNB Vice President Olaf Sleijpen stated that the move is designed to enhance the liquidity and tradability of the assets during potential economic or geopolitical disruptions. Placed in the vaults of the Bank of England, London has now become the largest hub for Dutch gold reserves, underscoring a broader trend among European central banks restructuring their monetary gold holdings.
