As a Portuguese I see the list 2:18 with a degree of pain. It's certain a big part of the Portuguese gold is "locked" on the IMF Portuguese participation and so on. Like so many other countries, I should say.
But the fact is that prior to the carnation revolution, in 1974. Portugal's gold reserves was touching the 900 tons!! Now it barely touch the 382 tons! It' still more than the entire UK.
But nevertheless an outrageous reduction. That consecutive governments have failed to "explain"! Like so many others I wonder where it's all gone?!
