FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - The European Central Bank said it has sold 37 tons of gold over the past two months, but that it has no plans for further sales in the current year of the central banks' gold agreement.

The ECB also sold 23 tons of gold in Nov 2006, so the recent sales take total sales for the current year of the gold agreement to 60 tons.

The current year of the gold agreement runs to Sept 26.

'It is not the ECB's intention to sell more gold in the current year of the agreement,' it said.

The 2004 gold sales agreement was signed by the ECB, the 12 national central banks of the euro zone and the central banks of Switzerland and Sweden, who agreed to limit their combined gold sales to a maximum of 500 tons per year over a five-year period.

PRESS RELEASE
1 June 2007 - The ECB’s gold sales
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.
