On the gold trail
Overview
Intro
Switzerland, which handles around half of the world's gold and 21% of Africa's gold - some of which is smuggled - faces the challenge that its companies must ensure traceability.
Switzerland is one of the largest importers of gold in the world. No less than 50% of this valuable material is transported through our country. It also imports around 21% of African gold. Some of this gold is smuggled. How can the Swiss companies that process these resources guarantee the proper traceability of this raw material?
We answer this question in this roundtable discussion with :
participants: Pauline Held Jeweler, Tramelan / Nicolas Carrera CEO Metalor Technologie SA / Marc Ummel Head of the Extractive Industries Sector. Swissaid / Thomas Brodmann Head of Precious Metals Control, Federal Department of Finance / Antoine Le Roy Moderator
