The Bank of Korea, South Korea's central bank, for the second time this year, raised its holdings of gold in November as part of measures to diversify its portfolio of foreign exchange reserves. In a statement on Friday, the Bank of Korea said it purchased 15 tonnes of gold for $850 million in November, four months after it bought an initial 25 tonnes for $1.24 billion between June and July, its first over a span of 13 years.
