Why Do Gold Prices Change in Pakistan?
There are a few key reasons the gold price in Pakistan today doesn’t stay fixed:
- Global spot prices: The international gold market sets the baseline.
- Exchange rate of USD to PKR: Since gold is traded in dollars globally, fluctuations in the dollar affect local rupee prices.
- Local demand patterns: During weddings, festivals or religious events, demand for 21K and 22K jewels increases.
- Jewellers’ costs and markups: Making charges, taxation, and shop overheads differ across cities.
Because of these, even two cities in Pakistan could show slight variation in gold rates.

Trend Over the Past Year
In early 2024, 24K gold per tola was somewhere between PKR 18,500 and 19,000. Over months, a mixture of currency weakening, global demand, and inflation pushed it steadily higher. Now, by mid-2025, it’s around PKR 26,500 per tola. That climb shows how gold tends to act like a hedge preserving value when other assets and currencies falter.
Which Purity Should You Choose?
- 24K Gold: The purest form (99.9 %). More suitable for investment (bars, coins) than everyday wear.
- 22K Gold: Often preferred for jewellery strong, yet relatively pure.
- 21K Gold: Common in Pakistan for durable ornaments; slightly less pure but more wear-resistant.
- 18K Gold: More affordable, and useful for those wanting gold for daily wear without a high price tag.

Tips for Buyers and Investors
- Always check the latest daily rate before making a purchase.
- Know what purity (karat) you want; choose based on your purpose (investment or jewellery).
- Ask for receipts and check for correct weight and hallmark.
- Buy from trusted jewellers — avoid shady shops or street vendors.
- If buying as investment, consider 24K bars or coins. If for everyday ornaments, 21K or 22K often makes more sense.
