abstract

Chapter 1 understanding gold

Used as international reserves

This is determined by the monetary commodity attribute of gold. Due to the excellent characteristics of gold, gold has been used as currency in history, such as value scale, means of circulation, means of storage, means of payment and world currency. With the development of social economy, gold has withdrawn from circulation. Since the 1970s, after the decoupling of gold from the US dollar, the monetary function of gold has weakened, but it still maintains a certain monetary function. At present, many countries, especially the major western countries, still hold an important position in their international reserves.

Even in the most heated period of gold non monetization, because of its high intrinsic value, gold, as a symbol of general wealth, still occupies a place in international reserves. In the 1940s, the total gold reserves of the five major developed countries (Belgium, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Italy and the Netherlands) were almost equal to those of the developing countries. By the end of the 1960s, although the international reserves of developed and developing countries had increased, the growth of gold reserves of the five developed countries accounted for 2 / 3 of the growth of international reserves. Therefore, the gold reserves in their international reserves also accounted for 2 / 3, forming a sharp contrast with the situation of developing countries. At that time, the gold reserves of developing countries accounted for less than 1 / 5 of their international reserves, and the growth of gold reserves accounted for less than 10%. Throughout the 1990s, developed countries had sufficient gold reserves, so their international reserves increased by US $437 billion simply because of the sharp rise in the price of gold. Developing countries only account for 6% of the world's gold reserves.

preface

In 2008, China's reform and opening up has gone through 30 years.

Thirty years ago, the Chinese people were trapped in low income and lack of materials. Those household appliances, such as color TV sets and refrigerators, which are common to ordinary families in developed countries, are still far away Dreams for Chinese people, and private cars and private houses are even more unthinkable. As for financial management, most people have never heard of it. Yes, I earn dozens of yuan a month. I can barely make a living. At most, I save the poor money from my teeth into the bank. What's the money to manage!

In 1985, when meeting with Vice President mwini of Tanzania, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said: "poverty is not socialism. Socialism should eradicate poverty." In the 30 years of reform and opening up, China is realizing Comrade Xiaoping's wish: the country's wealth is growing rapidly, and its total economic volume has ranked fourth in the world, and will soon surpass Germany and Japan; its foreign exchange reserves are more than US $1.6 trillion, ranking first in the world; the Chinese people's pockets are also bulging, and not only color TV sets, refrigerators and other household appliances have already entered ordinary people's homes, but also have become popular Private cars and houses have become common in China.

In the 21st century, it is no wonder that ordinary Chinese families have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan or more in savings. Financial management is becoming an urgent need of more and more people, and the leaders of the party and the state are also very concerned about it. In the report of the 17th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Hu Jintao specially proposed to "create conditions for more people to have property income".

Over the years, there is a very popular slogan: "you don't manage money, money ignores you." If we look back on the recent years, it is true. Here's an example:

In April 2003, the price of gold in the world was less than 350 US dollars per ounce. Since then, the price of gold has been rising all the way. In 2008, the price of gold was already around $1000 an ounce.
