A 1968 agreement... froze the gold in the official reserves of individual nations... Under the agreement, two gold markets were established. One, the official gold market, would continue to price gold at thirty-five dollars an ounce in transactions between central banks and international monetary institutions; the other, the free market, would operate at supply and demand prices, with gold seeking its own level... The need for such an agreement came to an end in 1971... 3, record 2, English, - two%2Dtier%20gold%20system

Stockpiling of gold is broken down into government and private investor demand. Though gold is no longer the cornerstone of the world's international payments system, it has of course retained much of its central monetary significance. Governments continue to hold gold as official reserve(whether in central banks or in organizations such as the International Monetary Fund). 2, record 3, English, - stockpiling%20of%20gold
