Gold: German central bank doesn't rule out gold revaluation

The Gold Observer's Jan Nieuwenhuijs today examines the possibility that central banks may revalue gold upward to help devalue their debt, an issue covered at length in 2021 by the U.S. economists Paul Brodsky and Lee Quaintance --

-- and in 2006 by the Scottish economist Peter Millar:

In 2008 even a former Federal Reserve Board member, Lyle Gramley, interviewed by Business News Network in Canada, volunteered that revaluation of gold would improve the central bank's balance sheet:

Nieuwenhuijs notes that central banks have revalued gold for this purpose before, so the idea is not the wild fantasy of gold bugs.

He adds tha t the German Bundesbank's correspondence with him about the issue doesn't exclude the possibility of gold revaluation. European Central Bank rules prohibit a gold revaluation for offsetting or repaying debt, Nieuwenhuijs writes, but of course the bank could change the rules in a flash.

Nieuwenhuijs' report is headlined "German Central Bank Doesn't Rule Out Gold Revaluation" and it's posted at The Gold Observer here:
