Harrods, the department store is planning to sell gold coins and bars.
Malcolm McLean, general manager of Harrods Bank, told Reuters overnight that the company saw a gap in the market for a well-known retailer to enter
the increasingly high-profile gold market.
Investment in gold coins and bars rose sharply in late 2008 and early this year as the financial crisis boosted the appeal of physical gold as a safe
store of value for consumers.
Why would Harrods do this now. Reserve currency anyone?
