“Slim Majority” Want to Save Switzerland’s Gold

Forbes reported that according to an opinion poll, “a slim majority” of Swiss citizens would vote “yes” to forcing the Swiss National Bank to raise and retain its gold reserves.

As quoted in the market news:

On Tuesday, 20 Minuten, Switzerland’s biggest daily newspaper, released the results of its online survey. According to the poll, which was conducted on Oct. 15 and had more than 13,000 respondents, 45% to 39% said they would support the ‘Save Our Gold’ initiative. However, according to media reports, the survey also showed a high number of undecided voters.

At the end of November, Swiss citizens will go to the polls to vote on three areas: whether or not the Swiss National Bank should increase its gold reserves to 20%, that the central bank should stop selling its precious metals and that all its gold should be held within the country.
