The right-wing bloggers, the precious metals bloggers and even some
left-wing bloggers are way ahead on this story. Many theories, much
speculation. Maybe lots of gold being diverted to non-Western nations
and non-Western bullion depositories. And of course, if the RCM can't
keep track of their gold, the conspiracy guys then ask "What about
Fort Knox"???

Let's not "speculate," pun intended, but you're right about the
precious metal guys. They apparently have been saying since this story
first broke in May that a number of major world mints could be
suffering from a similar problem. Stay tuned.

You DO have to give the Royal Canadian Mint people credit for calling
in the certified public accountants. Fort Knox has never been
publicly audited, never.

Perhaps the state bank examiners could spare me for a few months. My
bosses would be thrilled.

You'd never come back. All that gold would be like Sauron's Ring of Power
for you, and you'd start searching for a volcano to toss it all in.

I am about halfway through towards a master's and I took a couple of
cognate electives in international economics. I have no way to
validate either side of this. I just printed some of it out and put
it in my notebook. Make of it what you will. Google (or bing) the
keywords and follow the story yourself.

Re: Whereabouts of gold reserves – Why won’t Bank of Ghana publish its
2007 annual report?

More than a week ago an investigative article here on GhanaWeb humbly
raised the question of the whereabouts of Ghana’s 8.7 tonnes of
official gold reserves after two independent international
organizations - the World Gold Council and the IMF – published reports
that raised doubts about the whereabouts of the national assets. Since
1960, the World Gold Council (using IMF data) has ALWAYS reported
Ghana’s gold reserves, and as late as March 2007 the international
body reported that Ghana held 8.7 tones of Gold in its national
vaults. However in the latest September 2008 report – Ghana’s gold
reserves is now no where to be found. (See attached WGC global 2006
report vs. WGC global 2008 report).
