The ECB’s gold sales
1 June 2007
Over the past two months, the European Central Bank (ECB) has conducted gold sales amounting to 37 tons of gold.
These sales are in full conformity with the Central Banks’ Gold Agreement, dated 27 September 2004, of which the ECB is a signatory.
Together with the gold sales of 23 tons, completed on 30 November 2006, the ECB has thus sold 60 tons of gold in the third year of the agreement, which started on 27 September 2006 and ends on 26 September 2007.
It is not the ECB’s intention to sell more gold in the current year of the agreement.
