Well Russia isn't easing up on Gold purchases

"As of the end of October, their total gold reserves totaled 28.0 million ounces. They announced early last week that they were going to be buying 100 tonnes of gold in total this year...and to reach that amount, they have to buy an additional 600,000 ounces during the last two months of 2011. I have no doubt that they'll keep their word."

I doubt they are the only country and for the most part they along with China are staying out of the Rubber check races of the EU crisis.
