Gold Certificate Revaluation

Definition

Gold Certificate Revaluation refers to the process of adjusting the official valuation of gold certificates, which historically represented claims to physical gold held by central banks. Such revaluation would typically alter the price at which a nation’s gold reserves are accounted for on its balance sheet. This action can have implications for a country’s reported financial strength and monetary policy. It reflects a change in the perceived or official value of gold.
