Monetary Gold

    0.02 sec.
Monetary gold
Gold held by governmental authorities as a financial asset.

Monetary Gold
Gold owned by a government, usually as part of its currency reserves. While no country now uses a gold standard, many states hold monetary gold as a (small) part of the many things that determine a currency's value ? the bulk of which is the reserve of foreign currencies. As such, monetary gold has a small role in determining nations' monetary policies. Monetary gold is not traded, except between central banks and occasionally with international organizations such as the International Monetary Fund. See also: Foreign Exchange, Reserve asset.
