Le rapport suivant
de l’agence de presse Russe ITAR-TASS est intéressant en ce qu’il
rapporte que la Banque de Russie a décide de n’acheter que de l’or
sur le marché domestique, et aux banques Russes, plutôt que de s’approvisionner
sur le marché international. Il s’agit d’un
changement de politique majeur
depuis la position de Vladimir Putin en 2005, qui avait mentionné à
l’époque que
la Banque achèterait
de l’or sur tous les marchés.
Il va de soi que cette
politique d’approvisionnement
domestique plutot que de faire affaire avec les marchés
de l’or papier occidentaux semble être exactement la meme politique que celle suivie par la Chine.
Vous trouverez l’article ci dessous.

MOSCOW -- The Central Bank of Russia plans to buy
more than 100 tonnes of gold to renew the country's
gold and foreign exchange reserves (or international reserve assets) every
year, the bank's first deputy chairman, Georgy Luntovsky, told reporters on Monday, giving no details
pertaining to the terms.
Earlier, in an interview to the Prime Tass economic news agency, the first Deputy chairman of
the bank, Alexei Ulyukayev, said the central bank
would increase the share of gold in the national reserves.
In the middle of October 2010, the bank's director
of the financial operations, Sergei Shvetsov, said
the bank did not import gold in 2010. The bank buys gold on the domestic
market, in Russian banks.
According to the central bank, the reserves of gold
in the Russian international reserve assets increased by 23.9 percent (152.4 tonnes) in 2010 to reach 25.4 million net troy ounces
(790 tonnes) as of January 1, 2011, Prime Tass said.
As of January 1, 2009, the amount of monetary gold
in Russia's international reserves was at 16.4 million ounces (510.1 tonnes), the economic news agency said.
In 2009, the central bank's gold reserves increased
by 4.1 million ounces (127.5 tonnes) to reach 20.5
million ounces (637.6 tonnes) as of January 1,
2010, Prime Tass said.
