Who Sets the Gold Price in Pakistan?
Gold prices in Pakistan are mostly influenced by:
1. International Gold Market (London Bullion Market)
2. Dollar to Rupee exchange rate
3. Local demand and supply
4. Sarafa (Jewelry) Market Committees
Each day, international prices of gold change based on global demand and economic conditions. Pakistan’s gold price is calculated using these rates plus currency value, import costs, and local market conditions.
The All Pakistan Sarafa Gems and Jewellers Association (APSGJA) announces the rate daily. You’ll see it shared across news websites, TV, and displayed in jewelry shops.

What Affects Gold Prices in Pakistan?
1. Dollar Rate
When the rupee weakens against the dollar, gold becomes more expensive because Pakistan imports gold. Even a small shift in currency value can change the gold rate.
2. International Gold Prices
If prices rise in the global market—due to war, inflation, or economic crisis—Pakistani gold prices go up too.
3. Seasonal Demand
Weddings, Eid, and festivals cause a spike in buying. More demand = higher prices.
4. Taxes & Government Policies
Import duties or sudden policy changes can also impact rates in the local market.

Emotional Impact of Gold Price Changes
For Families Planning Weddings
A sudden rise in gold prices can break hearts. Parents who saved for years might find their budget is no longer enough for the set they had in mind.
For Buyers
When gold prices rise too high, many people switch to artificial jewelry or postpone buying altogether. It feels like losing a dream.
For Sellers
Selling gold in a financial crisis is emotional. It means parting with memories, and if prices are low, it adds pain to the decision.

Gold Price and Investment: Is It a Good Idea?
Yes—but with care. Gold is a long-term investment. It protects your savings from inflation. It doesn’t give monthly profits, but it keeps your value safe.
Good time to invest:
When gold prices fall
When currency is losing value
When international markets are uncertain
If you’re buying to invest, choose 24K coins or bars instead of jewelry, because there are no making charges and purity is guaranteed.
