Gold management needs transparency

Gold management needs transparency

From Bisnis Indonesia

Reading about community members donating gold to the
government as an expression of concern, I am happy there are
still citizens who are conscience of the economic situation.

On the other hand, the government should declare the mechanism
of receiving gold donations from the community, whether the
donations are gifts or temporary loans at this time of monetary
crisis.

Openness in the mechanism, and if required, specification of
the use of the gold are important aspects for us all in order
that we shall not be entrapped in excessive nepotism.

It is not wrong to lend gold to the government for a long
period, say 10 years, in time of crisis when funds are direly
needed.
