Nel 2002 non sembrava chiaro...ma gia' in Germania se ne discuteva... vediamo se trovo qualcosa di piu' recente.... (da un Q&A con Duisenberg, preso da ebc.int)
Question: Mr. Duisenberg, in Germany there is a discussion about the right or necessary volume or size of the foreign currency reserves and the gold reserve. Is that also a discussion in the ECB or not? And what is your own opinion: how much foreign currency and gold does a strong euro need? And my second question is how far advanced is the discussion about Council decision-making when the eastern European countries join the Council?
Duisenberg: The foreign currency and gold reserves of the Eurosystem were basically inherited from the past. Inside the Eurosystem there is no discussion and there can also be no conclusion about what precisely the appropriate size of the reserves of the Eurosystem should be. We are in the happy position where the Eurosystem as such holds so much foreign currency reserves that it will at all times be equipped to meet any disaster which might loom on the horizon. And the holdings place no constraint on whatever action we might want to take.
