LISBON (AFX) - The Bank of Portugal said it has sold 15 tonnes of gold from its reserves in the last few months.

The bank said the sales were aimed at diversifying its external reserves, with the proceeds to be kept in a special reserve at the central bank.

 

Last December, the bank sold 10 tonnes of gold.

 

The sales were carried out as part of the European Central Bank's agreement on gold sales which limits annual gold sales to 500 tonnes up to 2009.
