Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the rationale behind why China, despite having significant gold reserves, stores a portion of its gold in the United States, emphasizing that this practice is standard among many countries for reasons of security, liquidity, and international trust [1][3][10]. Group 1: Reasons for Storing Gold Abroad - Gold is a valuable asset that requires secure storage; keeping all gold domestically poses risks from potential wars, natural disasters, or political upheaval [3][4]. - Storing gold in the U.S. Federal Reserve's vault provides high security due to advanced protective measures and is considered one of the safest places globally [3][4]. - Liquidity is enhanced by having gold stored in the U.S., allowing for quick access for international trade settlements without the need for physical transportation [3][4]. Group 2: Ownership and Legal Considerations - The ownership of gold stored in the Federal Reserve is clearly defined, with detailed records and annual audits ensuring transparency [4][7]. - Contracts govern the storage of foreign gold in the U.S., binding both parties legally; any breach could lead to international litigation, impacting the U.S.'s legal reputation [6][10]. - Historical context shows that the U.S. has maintained its credibility in gold storage, as evidenced by its refusal to deny access to gold during past crises [9][10]. Group 3: Strategic and Economic Implications - Storing gold abroad reflects a balance between maintaining sufficient reserves for financial stability and ensuring liquidity for quick access [7][11]. - China's decision to store gold in the U.S. signifies its commitment to participating in the international financial system and adhering to established rules [10][11]. - The practice of diversifying gold storage across countries helps maintain international stability and prevents any single nation from exerting excessive power [9][10].

报告还指出，随着经济增长放缓，预计拉美地区的就业增长也将受限。此外，预计2025年至2026年 该地区通货膨胀率将保持在3%左右，由于国际粮食和能源价格都可能上升，通胀上行压力和风险持续 存在。 报告认为，应从提升财政支出效率、优化税收管理、改革国际金融体系、完善主权债务解决机制、 加强开发银行在资源调动中的作用等方面入手，提升拉美地区发展融资能力。 新华社圣地亚哥8月5日电（记者朱雨博）联合国拉丁美洲和加勒比经济委员会（拉加经委会）5日 在智利首都圣地亚哥发布的年度经济研究报告中指出，2025年拉美和加勒比地区经济预计增长2.2%， 2026年将增长2.3%。 报告指出，2025年至2026年，受地缘政治冲突加剧、金融环境紧缩、国际贸易疲软等外部因素和消 费萎靡等内部因素影响，拉美地区经济前景面临高度不确定性，或将导致该地区国家赤字扩大，对外资 产生更多依赖。 分区域来看，报告预计南美洲经济今年将增长2.7%，高于地区平均水平，这主要得益于阿根廷、 厄瓜多尔、哥伦比亚等国的经济表现；中美洲和墨西哥经济将增长1.0%，增速同比大幅下滑，主要由 于来自美国的需求缩水；加勒比地区（不含圭亚那）经济将增长1.8%， ...
