Abstract

El capítulo analiza la actividad de compra de oro del Banco de la República de Colombia desde los años 1920 hasta la primera década del siglo XXI. Se destaca la importancia de la descentralización administrativa a través de la apertura de agencias de compra de oro (ACO) en departamentos del Pacífico colombiano y Antioquia. Durante las primeras décadas de su creación, el Banco de la República asumió diversas labores adicionales a sus funciones originales de banca central, como la administración de salinas terrestres y marítimas, el Fondo de Estabilización, la Casa de Moneda de Bogotá y la administración delegada de minas de esmeraldas. El capítulo se enfoca específicamente en las ACO operadas por el Banco de la República, utilizando fuentes primarias y secundarias, así como entrevistas con empleados y pensionados que tuvieron relación directa con las ACO.
