He believes that Bundesbank officials should personally count and document the gold bars to ensure their accuracy and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Marco Wanderwitz from the CDU party echoes this sentiment, advocating for either frequent inspections or a complete repatriation of the gold.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion has gained further momentum following comments from tech billionaire Elon Musk, who recently proposed that an audit of Fort Knox be livestreamed. Fort Knox, which holds a significant portion of the US gold reserves, has not undergone an audit since 1974, raising questions about transparency.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these concerns, Germany\u2019s Bundesbank remains confident in the current arrangement. A spokesperson for the Bundesbank recently reiterated President Joachim Nagel\u2019s stance, affirming the institution\u2019s trust in the New York Federal Reserve as a reliable custodian for Germany\u2019s gold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is growing debate in Germany over the country\u2019s gold reserves stored in the United States, as some officials push
