In 1992, after the restoration of Lithuania’s independence, France and Great Britain returned to Lithuania its gold holdings of 2,246.5 kg and 2,946.9 kg, respectively. In 1940 the Bank for International Settlements took over 62.2 kg of gold of the Bank of Lithuania as compensation for losses incurred due to the freezing of its account with the Bank of Lithuania. The remaining portion of gold (569.8 kg) was recovered from the Bank for International Settlements in 1992 as well and later transferred to the Bank of Lithuania’s gold accounts in the Bank of England. Currently, all of Lithuania’s gold is held there. In 1992, Sweden’s government paid 21.1 million German marks for the gold that Lithuania held in the central bank of Sweden before World War II. The gold of the Bank of Lithuania held with the US Federal Reserve System was used after World War II to finance the activities of independent Lithuania’s diplomatic service in exile.
