[null and void]

For those of us who don’t have the time or inclination to click through to this excellent site:

#1 United States, 8,133.5 tonnes
#2 Germany, 3,391.3 tonnes
#3 Italy, 2,451.8 tonnes
#4 France, 2,435.4 tonnes
#5 China, 1,054.1 tonnes
#6 Switzerland, 1,040.1 tonnes
#7 Russia, 934.9 tonnes
#8 Japan, 765.2 tonnes
#9 Netherlands, 612.5 tonnes
#10 India, 557.7 tonnes

Those are “official” holdings, I’d bet India and China have twice as much in private hands.

From this site - about the paragon of monetary sanity, Switzerland:

In 1997 proposals were announced to sell a portion of the country's gold reserves because they were no longer considered to be "necessary for monetary policy purposes", according to the World Gold Council.

1,300 tonnes were considered to be surplus gold and the country began selling this in May 2000. 1,170 tonnes were sold under CBGA1, and 130 tones were sold under CBGA2. Switzerland has announced no plans to sell gold under CBGA 3.
