MineWeb's Lawrence Williams today notes that more major gold purchases have been reported to the International Monetary Fund by central banks and he acknowledges that other purchases, particularly by China, are probably being made but not being reported to the IMF until it is "politically expedient" to do so. That is, as GATA long has maintained and has reported many times, central bank gold data is often misleading and sometimes outright disinformation, because gold is infinitely more important to central banks than they let on:
