MMF schválil odpredaj zlata

V nasledujúcich niekoľkých rokoch MMF bude 403,3 ton zlata, čo predstavuje asi 12% celkových zásob MMF, odpredané.

The Board of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday approved the sale of 403.3 tons of gold reserves as part of a financial overhaul that will allow the Fund to generate revenues from a variety of sources.


Governors from 176 of the Fund's 185 member countries cast their votes, according to a statement issued by the international financial institution.


Of these, all voted in favor of the resolution. Approval of the resolution required a majority of the votes cast.


The sale, amounting to some 12 percent of the IMF's gold reserves, could yield around 11 billion dollars.


If approved, gold sales would likely be conducted over several years to avoid any risk of market disruption, according to an IMF statement last month.
