[Reuters] Argentina ups gold reserves, first since 2005-IMF
[XAU=] LONDON, April 24 (Reuters) - Argentina raised its holdings of gold for the first time in nearly six years in September 2011, in line with the trend among emerging-market central banks to diversify further from paper currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the euro. Data from the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday showed Argentina added some 7 tonnes of gold to its holdings, bringing its reserves to 61.74 tonnes in September last year. This was the first addition by Buenos Aires to its gold holdings since February 2005, according to the IMF's monthly international finance statistics report. The IMF data also showed Mexico added 16.81 tonnes to its holdings in March this year, bringing its total bullion reserves to 122.58 tonnes, while Russia raised its holdings by 16.55 tonnes to 895.75 tonnes last month. Kazakhstan upped its gold reserves by 4.30 tonnes to 96.16 tonnes in March.
