Andrey Portnov ambiguously hinted that the reason for the “disappearance” of Ukraine’s gold reserves lies in the policies of the country’s new leadership.
He reported this on his Facebook page:
“I’m sure it was stolen for some benefit.
Recently, state gold has been stolen somewhere again. https://korrespondent.net/business/economics/3452177-ukrayna-otkatylas-na-10-let-nazad-po-zolotovaluitnym-rezervam
I am far from thinking that the new democratic regime could have stolen it for profit. Maybe the gold was simply stolen by accident, or maybe it was lost unnoticed. Or maybe it was squandered unintentionally, or they wanted the best, but it happened that way. Maybe the officials did not expect such an outcome at all, and the gold itself decreased. Or maybe it is still lying somewhere in the vault, someone just moved it to another corner. Or maybe everything is the other way around, maybe everything is going well. Because there is a direct relationship between macroeconomic indicators, budget deficit, currency interventions and gold reserves. One thing is clear for sure, since the gold disappeared under the current government, which professes high moral values and dignity, then it disappeared exclusively in our interests.”
We remind you that back in November, Valeria Gontareva announced live on air that gold had disappeared from Ukraine’s gold reserves.
She noted that the NBU holds about 1% of the gold and foreign exchange reserves. However, according to the official version, it should be at least 8%. At the same time, Gontareva refused to report the reasons for its decrease.
