Dhanteras delight: RBI says 102-ton gold shifted to India

排灯节首日喜讯：印度央行称102吨黄金已转移回印度

NEW DELHI: It is not just Indian households which look to bring gold into their lockers. On Dhanteras, the Reserve Bank of India disclosed that it has shipped another 102 tonnes of gold from Bank of England’s vaults in London to secure locations within the country.

新德里：不仅仅是印度家庭希望把黄金放进储物柜。印度储备银行透露，已从英格兰银行位于伦敦的金库运回了102吨黄金，运往了国内的安全地点。

At the end of September, of the 855 tonnes of yellow metal held by the Indian central bank, 510.5 tonnes was held domestically, the latest report on management of foreign exchange reserves revealed. Since Sept 2022, 214 tonnes have moved into the country as RBI and govt sought to secure their holdings amid heightened geopolitical tensions across the globe. Many in govt believe that it's safer to hold gold at home.

有关外汇储备管理的最新报告显示，截至9月底，印度央行持有的855吨黄金中，有510.5吨是国内持有的。自2022年9月以来，随着全球地缘政治紧张局势加剧，印度央行和政府努力确保本国黄金储备流回国内，已有214吨黄金运回国内。许多官员认为，在国内持有黄金更安全。

On May 31, TOI was the first to report about 100 million tonnes being moved from the UK and had also said that a similar quantity was planned to be shipped again. The movement marked the first significant shift since gold moved out in early 1990s after govt was forced to pledge it amid a balance of payments crisis.

5月31日，《印度时报》率先报道了约100亿吨黄金从英国运回的消息，并表示印度计划再次运回类似数量的黄金。这一变动标志着自上世纪90年代初以来将黄金运往国外存储的首次重大转变。

Like the last time, RBI and govt undertook a secret mission involving special aircraft and detailed security arrangements to move the gold, acutely aware that the information should not leak out. The shipments also require an exemption from the levy of taxes. Authorities are not ruling out further movement although significant shipments are unlikely this year.

就像上次一样，印度储备银行和政府执行了一项秘密任务，动用了特种飞机，做好了详细转移黄金的安全措施，他们敏锐地意识到信息不应该泄露出去，并还要求对此批运输免征税款。尽管今年不太可能再大批运回，但有关部门不排除进一步运回的可能性。

Now, 324 tonnes are held in the safe custody of the Bank of England and the Bank for International Settlements, which also keeps the bulk of the precious metal in the UK. A little over 20 tonnes of RBI's holdings was kept in gold deposits.

目前，324吨黄金由英国央行和国际清算银行安全保管，后者也将大部分黄金存放在英国。印度央行持有的20多吨黄金被存放在黄金储备中。

Quick liquidity given access to the London bullion market was cited as a key advantage of storing gold with the Bank of England. RBI data also revealed that RBI has increased its gold holdings, which at the end of Sept accounted for 9.3% of India’s foreign exchange reserves, compared with 8.1% in end-March.

伦敦黄金市场的快速流动性被认为是将黄金存放在英格兰银行的一个关键优势。印度储备银行的数据还显示，印度储备银行增加了黄金持有量，截至9月底，黄金占印度外汇储备的9.3%，而3月底为8.1%。

But what benfits Indians got Rupee decreasing day by day interest rates increasing for Loans This Govt is too harsh even eating old peoples Money in banks

印度人获得的好处是卢比日益贬值，贷款利率上升，印度政府太狠了，甚至吸纳老人的钱

Chai wala has increased our gold reserves. So called economist and robo Singh pledged gold in UK bank to get foreign currency as India did not have money for imports. India needs strong leader like Modi for many decades. Hindus need to be united and fight against conversions mafias.

莫迪增加了我们的黄金储备。所谓的经济学家辛格将黄金存放在英国银行以换取外汇，因为印度没有外汇来进口了。

几十年来，印度需要莫迪这样强大的领导人。印度教徒需要团结起来，打击改宗的黑手党。

Thank God. It is not fallen in the hand of Congress.

谢天谢地，这些黄金没有落入国大党的手中。

Bringing our gold back is just to enable our saffron goons and their buddies Ambanis and Adanis to steal some. They have finished stealing other resources like coal mines, infrastructure like airports and sea ports..not much is left

把我们的黄金带回来只是为了方便人民党暴徒和他们的兄弟安巴尼和阿达尼偷一些。

他们已经窃取了其他资源，比如煤矿、机场和海港等基础设施，剩下的东西已经不多了

Sarfaraz

We read in history that British Government had siphoned millions of tons of gold from India. It was the biggest consignment of Gold taken from INdia and India was named "Sone ki Chirya".

英国政府从印度掠夺走了数百万吨黄金。这是从印度运来的最大一批黄金。

After collecting thousands of crores in Sovereign Gold Bonds wherein the government trapped itself, this was the least it could do.

在吸纳了数以千万计的主权黄金债券后，印度政府陷入了困境，这是它能做的最起码的事情。
