ZitatAs BIS notes in its progress report on Basel III implementation:
At national discretion, gold bullion held in own vaults or on an allocated basis to the extent backed by bullion liabilities can be treated as cash and therefore risk-weighted at 0%.
... In short, they are meeting to consider making gold a Tier 1 asset for commercial banks with 100% weighting ..., against which they needn’t set aside any regulatory capital ... With interest rates near zero ... the opportunity cost of sitting on a non-interest-bearing gold position ... is close to zero.
