DNB moves gold and banknotes to Haarlem

This week, the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) started work on the Relocation of its gold stock to Haarlem. In addition to the gold, the banknotes are also temporarily housed in the building of the former printing works of Joh. Enschedé in Haarlem. The reason for the move is the renovation of the head office in Amsterdam.

The gold will no longer return to the head office in Amsterdam, because in 2023 the gold stock and the stock of cash will go to a New location in Zeist. This vault space is still under construction and will be put into use from 2023.

Currently, the Dutch Central Bank keeps about a third of its gold reserves in its own country. That's about 15,000 gold bars, which represent a value of €10 billion at the current gold price. The rest of the gold reserves are in London, New York and Ottawa. According to DNB, gold is the ultimate apple for the thirst, because it Always retains value.
