Hong Kong recalls gold reserves, touts high-security vault

In a challenge to London, Asian states invited to store bullion closer to home

MarketWatch – Sept 3, 2009

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Hong Kong is pulling all its physical gold holdings from depositories in London, transferring them to a high-security depository newly built at the city’s airport, in a move that won praise from local traders Thursday.

The facility, industry professionals said, would support Hong Kong’s emergence as a Swiss-style trading hub for bullion and would lessen London’s status as a key settlement-and-storage center…

Management firm Value Partners planned to launch an ETF gold fund that will use Hong Kong instead of London as a repository for the gold backing the fund, local reports said Thursday.

For many reasons, this was a good economic move for Hong Kong (which is now part of China and not the UK).

Since London will likely be destroyed in the future, it makes perfect sense the those in Hong Kong want their gold back.

Both biblical and non-biblical prophecies tell of a time when the final King of the North will acquire gold. And this would likely also include any that happens to be left in London.
