The International Monetary Fund kicked off the sale of more than 400 tonnes of gold with a wallop, saying November 3 it sold almost half to India, the world's biggest gold consumer, at near-record prices. The IMF announced it sold 200 tonnes of gold to India's central bank over a two-week period last month for a total of 6.7 billion dollars to bolster its finances as it increases lending amid the global economic crisis.
