Market analyst and fund manager Bruce Pile argues today that the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, a division of the Bank for International Settlements, is, with its "Basel III" banking rules, gradually returning gold to its role as international money and that this will increase demand for gold among banks everywhere. Pile seems to have been following GATA's work, what with his reference to the report written about the BIS by Edward Jay Epstein in Harper's magazine in 1983 and often cited by GATA:
