The Polish central bank has bought roughly 300 tonnes of gold in recent years to bring its gold-gross national product ratio in line with the average in the eurozone.

Based on these requirements I expect Poland to buy an additional 130 tonnes of gold.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Gold advocate John Rubino writes this month that the gold market used to be manipulated by Wall Street traders "spoofing" the futures market, by commercial fabricators trying to trick hedge funds and other speculators in the futures market, and by Western central banks lending gold to bullion banks so they would sell it into the market to depress the price and thereby defend government currencies against competition from the monetary metal.
