维基解密：伊朗悄悄增持黄金

飞雪寒冰

Iran has secretly bought large amounts of gold in the international market, according to a senior Bank of England official, in a sign of how growing political pressure has driven Tehran to reduce its exposure to the US dollar.
英国央行(BoE)一位高级官员称，伊朗在国际市场上秘密购买了大量黄金。这表明，日益增长的政治压力已促使伊朗政府减少美元敞口。

Andrew Bailey, head of banking at the Bank of England, told an American official that the central bank had observed “significant moves by Iran to purchase gold”, according to a US diplomatic cable obtained by WikiLeaks and seen by the Financial Times.
据维基解密(WikiLeaks)获得的一份美国外交电报透露，英国央行银行业务主管安德鲁•贝利(Andrew Bailey)对一名美国官员表示，该机构曾注意到“伊朗正大举购买黄金”。英国《金融时报》看到了这份电报。

Mr Bailey said the gold buying “was an attempt by Iran to protect its reserves from risk of seizure”.
贝利表示，购买黄金“是伊朗保护其储备，使其免遭扣押风险的一种企图”。

Market observers believe Tehran has been one of the biggest buyers of bullion over the past decade after China, Russia and India, and is among the 20 largest holders of gold reserves.
市场观察人士认为，伊朗是过去十年除中国、俄罗斯和印度之外，黄金的最大买主之一，目前黄金储量位居全球前20。

They estimate it holds more than 300 tonnes of gold, up from 168.4 tonnes in 1996, the date of the most recent International Monetary Fund data.
他们估计，伊朗持有逾300吨黄金，而国际货币基金组织(IMF)上一次统计还是在1996年，当时该国拥有168.4吨。

The cable, dated June 2006, is the first official confirmation of Tehran’s buying.
上述电报的日期为2006年6月，首次正式证实了伊朗政府在购买黄金。

Last year central banks became net buyers of bullion after 22 years of large sales, helping drive gold prices to all-time nominal highs. Trades by central banks are often kept secret.
去年，在经过22年的大规模出售后，各国央行成为黄金的净买家。这对金价飙升至前所未有的名义高点起到了推动作用。央行进行的黄金买卖往往是秘密进行的。

Bankers said other Middle Eastern countries had also been quietly adding to gold holdings to diversify away from the dollar amid political tensions and volatility in currency markets.
银行官员表示，面对政治紧张和汇市波动，其它中东国家也一直在暗中增加黄金储备，以减少所持美元资产的比重。

Cables obtained by WikiLeaks cite Jordan’s prime minister as saying the central bank was “instructed to increase its holdings” of gold, and a Qatar Investment Authority official as saying the QIA was interested in buying gold and silver.
维基解密获得的电报显示，约旦首相表示，该国央行“奉命增加其黄金储备”，而卡塔尔投资局(Qatar Investment Authority)一名官员则表示，该局有意购买金和银。

The Bank of England declined to comment on the cables, but did not dispute their contents. The central banks of Iran and Jordan and the QIA did not respond to requests for comment.
英国央行拒绝就电报置评，但并未对电报内容表示异议。伊朗和约旦的央行、以及卡塔尔投资局均未回复置评请求。
