When asked about Germany and Switzerland wanting to repatriate their gold, Farage responded, “Gold and oil are the two dominant assets of our age. I think in some ways they are more dominant now than perhaps they have ever been. The instinct of countries like Germany and Switzerland is, yes, let’s get as much gold within our boundaries and within the vaults of our central banks as we possibly can.
Their instincts are that is what should happen. The question is how exactly do they go about it? Diplomatically, how do they do this? Switzerland and Germany are both countries whose governments have some sense and understanding of what monetary systems are.
They understand the risks and they see the risks. The Swiss because they are wise and the Germans because less than one hundred years ago they went through a total collapse of their monetary system.”
