		According to the report, then-Riksbank director Ivar Rooth wrote a memorandum in 1943 saying he and Trade Minister Hermann Eriksson discussed the risk that the gold Sweden received from Germany was looted.
		Rooth's memo was written after Britain and other Allied countries had warned Sweden the gold it was getting from Germany could be tainted, the report said.
		All the gold that Germany sold after early 1943 is believed to have been looted because the country's reserves were already exhausted by its war effort, according to a 1946 Allied report declassified last year.

	Sveriges Riksbank/Riksbanken - The Riksbank archives
		The Riksbank’s archives are more a reflection of the Bank’s activities than its organisation, however, even though the ambition has been to follow the principle of provenance – that records of the same origin must not be intermingled with those of any other origin.
		The archives also contain some Riksbank Governors’ and Deputy Governors’ more or less private records, including those of Ivar Rooth and Carl-Göran Lemne.
		Records in the Riksbank archives can be searched via a systematic inventory.
