ready to buy much more gold? Italy to use gold reserves to cut national debt

Bank of Italy has €37,970m worth of gold and the equivalent of €21,026m in foreign currency, mostly US Dollars and Sterling, with smaller amounts in Yen and Swiss Francs. Some of this, however, under an agreement with the ECB, must be retained in case there is a need to intervene to defend the Euro.

In addition, a pact by 15 European nations sets a total limit of 500 tonnes of gold which can be sold in any one year. For 2008, the sale of 345 tonnes has already been reserved by other central banks. This would leave only 155 tonnes for Italy to sell, the equivalent of about €2,500m.
