The lacunoseexplanation of scarcity in pricing this resource became weak and dried up. The gold standard remainsunique, and the central banks permanently increase their gold reserves, as the International MonetaryFund statistics of national assets reveal; the usual explanation for this fact is that, promoting andsecuring the macroeconomic stability, while the national currencies fluctuate or most common beingdepreciated, the gold price is raising continuously.
