“Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan won’t exclude increasing the central bank’s gold holdings at some point and said most of its reserves are held domestically.  More than 70 percent of the SNB’s 1,040 tons of gold are held in Switzerland, with about 20 percent at the Bank of England and 10 percent at the Bank of Canada, he said, for the first time disclosing where the physical assets were stored.  The SNB’s gold holdings are the target of a popular initiative, which demands that at least 20 percent of the central bank’s assets be in the form of gold. The measure would also block the sale of such holdings and require all SNB gold to be located in Switzerland.”
