Poland’s national bank was buying gold in a period when its price was falling because Turkey was having to sell off gold to prop up its rapidly devaluing domestic currency, and Germany, Morocco and the European Central Bank were also offloading some of their gold reserves, preferring to invest in the strengthening dollar.
The price of gold on November 1st alone rose by two percent. On November 2nd the value of Polish gold reserves amounted to 17.5 billion PLN.
