Bratislava, November 28 (TASR) – The investment gold that Slovakia has stored at the Bank of England should return to Slovakia, Smer-SD party head Robert Fico stated on Thursday.

The gold, weighing 31.7 tonnes, is worth approximately €1.3 billion. The bill that will serve as a request to initiate this process should by presented by 30 MPs at an extraordinary session.

According to Fico, the reason behind the decision is an impending financial crisis as well as the instability stemming from Brexit. At the same time, Fico noted that the rate of return from the British bank is very low.
