No gold shifted outside India in 2014 or thereafter, says RBI refuting reports

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Friday said no gold was shifted outside the country in 2014 or thereafter. The statement comes against the backdrop of reports in certain sections of the print and social media regarding the central bank shifting abroad a part of its gold holding in 2014.  It is a normal practice for central banks world over to keep their gold reserves overseas with central banks of other countries like Bank of England for safe custody, according to the statement.  "It is further stated that no gold was shifted by the RBI from India to other countries in 2014 or thereafter.

You can just imagine the kind of clients we have on our plate every morning. We deal with best of best and biggest of the biggest firms; firms that ac...
