To whom ? If governments sell gold to the public, they are in effect reducing the public's cash holding. Their strategy has been the opposite; i.e. to increase the supply of money in circulation.

The IMF plan to sell gold is different. It will raise cash which will they will supply to needy nations, whose propensity to spend is greatest. It will be stimulative to world economies, I think.
