256.	The IMF, gold sales and multilateral debt cancellation
	Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
	The IMF holds the largest official reserves of gold in the world after the United States and Germany. These are held at a significant discount to the market price and have a latent additional value of about $34 billion at current price levels. The IMF has no real use for this gold1 and it is not used in the general day to day operations of the Fund. Moreover gold constitutes only about 2% of the IMF’s total available resources. There is also a significant opportunity cost to holding gold in its present form. Our calculations show that by holding gold the IMF has lost about $30 billion in potential revenue since 1979-80 when fund staff first suggested that the gold be sold.
