What is our stance on dubious gold?

Dubious gold has no place in Switzerland. Pending the implementation of larger-scale solutions, it is our duty to remove any doubts over gold imported into Switzerland.

The majority of Swiss refiners have greatly scaled back or even suspended their gold imports from Dubai in recent years. They have taken care to restrict themselves to reliable sources, the origin of which can be traced.

So the Swiss industry has a good awareness of this issue, although there is still some progress to be made, as the current debate shows.

Hence it is essential to continue efforts, in order to eliminate any remaining doubts over gold imported into Switzerland, in particular concerning batches from Dubai.
