The question of gold repatriation is once again being revisited by German economists. Growing global uncertainty has brought the issue back into focus.
Germany holds nearly €450 billion worth of gold, making it a major global holder. A significant share is stored in US vaults.
Supporters of repatriation argue that strategic assets should be kept closer to home. They believe national control is increasingly important.
Critics warn that repatriation could harm market confidence. They emphasize the importance of international trust.
The government remains cautious, insisting there is no immediate threat. The discussion, however, is gaining momentum.
