Increased transparency of London gold holdings

Alongside the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and other commercial vaults, the Bank of England will now publish gold holding data with a one-month lag.
Published on 01 September 2020

The reduction from a three-month lag will increase transparency around gold holdings, in line with the Fair and Effective Market Review’s goal to increase transparency in the gold market.

These data show the weight of gold the Bank of England has in our custody on the last business day of each month.  To note that the Bank of England has published an additional three months of data today, as such data are available to end-July 2020.
