The Price of Gold in Top 10 Currencies

Glen -- the GDP weightings are changed each year in line with IMF data. So yes, for 2008 those are the numbers used, but with the 16 Euro economies added together to take the No.2 spot. The idea is to refine the World Gold Council's G5 gold index (scroll to the bottom here: www.research.gold.org/... ). Still applies GDP weights from 10 years ago!
