VIENNA, Nov 23 (Reuters) - The European
Central Bank (ECB) will value its gold reserves at
market prices, Dutch Central Bank President Arnout
Wellink said on Monday.

''They will be valued at market prices. That has been
decided,'' the central banker told Reuters at the
European Finance Convention in Vienna.

He did not elaborate.

The central banks of the 11 nations which will
participate in the launch euro from January 1 use
different methods to value their gold reserves, ranging
from market levels to the historical low price used by
the Bundesbank.

European Central Bank President Wim Duisenberg
said earlier in Brussels that the ECB had not yet
taken any position about how gold would be valued
in its foreign currency reserves.

The ECB has said it will hold 15 percent of its
reserves in gold, but has not said what book value
will be assigned to that amount.
