i've uploaded this chart, and while it doesn't reflect the debt of banks i thought it was interesting. selling gold to save banks and help prevent a liquidity crisis may be a strategy. a sell-off would need to be done in a controlled way to minimize the impact on spot prices. maybe this has already been occurring (or have occurred).
out there scenario: maybe the intent of the central banks is to push up the POG to a level where a sell-off would make it worth their while to pay down debts. given current debt levels it probably means they'd have to push gold to astronomical prices.
