-->BUENOS AIRES, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Argentina's Central Bank confirmed on Thursday that it bought 42 tonnes of gold in the first half of the year in its strategy to diversify reserves after the end of the peso's one-to-one peg against the dollar in early 2002.
"We were positive about gold," a Central Bank official told Reuters on the condition of anonymity."We thought that in this international context with a war going on and the price of oil going up, we were relatively positive in relation to gold."
The official said gold now accounted for less than 3 percent of Argentina's total foreign reserves. A little more than 20 percent of reserves are now in non-dollar assets, which he considered a"reasonable" level.
He said the Central Bank had not yet decided if it would accumulate more gold.
"We are in this precise moment deciding the benchmark of the administration of reserves," the official said.
