Net foreign exchange reserves in the Eurosystem of central banks fell by 5.4 billion euros to 237 billion euros, the ECB said in its regular weekly consolidated financial statement.
Gold holdings fell because of sales by two euro zone central banks, consistent with the 2004 Central Bank Gold Agreement, the ECB said.
It added its balance sheet totalled 1.748 trillion euros compared with 1.8 trillion the previous week.
