I suppose 1/3 local, 1/3 Fed, and the other 1/3 between Bank of England and Bank of France.. But they are so mum here that I'm not holding my breath on better explanations..

And, if I may ask to better minds, how is regulated internationally the ownership of central bank's gold?

What I mean is (accordingly of what I believe):

Bank of Italy is a stock corporation where the stock ownership is divided by the banks who are formally the owners. But, the same applies to the other western countries as well?

Bundesbank is a German state/people bank or the same as Italy, a corporation of german banks? Bank of England and France?

You in Usa have the Treasury that formally is separate from Fed, being Fed like our Bank of Italy...

Up to 1982 Bank of Italy (if I remember correctly) was a branch of our Treasury department, but then separated and privatized to the usual suspects...
