Bank of England to invest one fifth of reserve in silver
The Bank of England plans to place twenty percent of its reserve in silver, a move long permitted by its charter but not used until now. Analysts cite safer, advantageous outcomes and a shift in party policy toward silver, reflecting strong British and American bimetallist sentiment. The decision aims to avoid undermining gold standard while aiding silver’s status amid political pressure from industrial groups and India’s prosperity.
