To assess what contribution, if any, gold could make to the current international monetary system in the wake of the global financial crisis, Chatham House set up a global Taskforce of experts in 2011. It investigated the role gold could play:
• as an anchor;
• as a hedge or safe haven;
• as collateral or guarantee;
• as a policy indicator.
The Taskforce explored the advantages and disadvantages of reintroducing gold in the system and identified a number of possible scenarios for reform.
