Gold Price History in Pakistan — Last 15 Days
The chart below shows how gold prices in Pakistan have moved over the last 15 days. Gold prices in Pakistan are closely linked to international gold prices quoted in USD per troy ounce at the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).
How Gold Rate is Determined in Pakistan
Gold rate in Pakistan is determined through a combination of international market prices and local factors. The process works as follows:
Every day, the international gold price is quoted in US Dollars per troy ounce at major global trading centers including London, New York and Dubai. The APSGJA then takes this international price and converts it to Pakistani Rupees using the current interbank USD/PKR exchange rate. After accounting for import duties, taxes and local market conditions, the final official gold rate per tola is announced for all of Pakistan.
Since 1 troy ounce equals 31.1035 grams and 1 tola equals 11.664 grams, the per-tola price is calculated as:
Factors Affecting Gold Rate in Pakistan
Several key factors cause gold prices in Pakistan to rise or fall on a daily basis:
1. US Dollar — The Most Important Factor
Since gold is priced globally in US Dollars, the USD/PKR exchange rate has a direct and immediate impact on gold prices in Pakistan. When the Pakistani Rupee weakens against the Dollar, gold becomes more expensive in PKR terms even if the international price stays the same. This is why gold prices in Pakistan have risen dramatically over the past decade — primarily due to PKR depreciation rather than actual increases in international gold demand.
2. International Gold Prices
The global spot price of gold, determined by supply and demand on international commodity exchanges, is the foundation of Pakistan’s gold rate. Key drivers of international gold prices include US Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, geopolitical tensions and conflicts, global inflation levels, central bank gold buying and selling activity, and investor demand for safe haven assets.
3. Import Duties and Taxes
The Pakistani government levies import duties on gold. Any changes to these duties in the federal budget directly impact local gold prices. Higher import duties push gold prices up in Pakistan even when international prices remain stable.
4. Local Supply and Demand
Pakistan has one of the highest per-capita gold consumption rates in Asia. Gold demand spikes significantly during wedding seasons (October-December and April-May) which can temporarily push local prices slightly above the APSGJA announced rate in some markets.
Gold Rate in Pakistan — Historical Context
Gold has been on a remarkable upward trajectory in Pakistan over the past decade. The combination of international gold price appreciation and significant PKR depreciation against the US Dollar has made gold one of the best performing assets in Pakistan. Investors who purchased gold in Pakistan five to ten years ago have seen substantial returns on their investment in PKR terms.
The current gold rate in Pakistan of Rs. 467,410 per tola reflects both international market conditions and the current USD/PKR exchange rate of Rs. 278.75.

Gold Purity Guide — Which Karat to Buy in Pakistan
Gold purity is measured in karats. Here is a guide to the most common gold purities available in Pakistan:
24 Karat Gold (99.9% pure) — The purest form of gold, also called fine gold. It has a bright yellow color and is the most valuable. In Pakistan, 24K gold is primarily used for investment purposes — gold coins, bars and bullion. It is too soft for everyday jewelry. Today’s 24K gold rate in Pakistan is Rs. 467,410 per tola.
22 Karat Gold (91.67% pure) — The most popular choice for gold jewelry in Pakistan. It contains 22 parts gold and 2 parts other metals (usually silver or copper) which makes it more durable than 24K while retaining a rich gold color. Today’s 22K gold rate in Pakistan is Rs. 428,459 per tola.
21 Karat Gold (87.5% pure) — Popular in some regions of Pakistan, especially for traditional jewelry designs. Today’s 21K gold rate is Rs. 408,984 per tola.
18 Karat Gold (75% pure) — Commonly used for modern and designer jewelry pieces. More affordable while still being genuine gold. Today’s 18K rate is Rs. 350,558 per tola.
Should You Buy Gold in Pakistan Right Now?
This is purely a personal financial decision and depends on your investment goals, risk tolerance and financial situation. We are not financial advisors and this is not financial advice. However here are some general points to consider:
Gold has historically been a reliable store of value in Pakistan, particularly as a hedge against PKR depreciation and inflation. Many Pakistani families allocate a portion of their savings to physical gold as a long-term store of wealth. Gold is also highly liquid — you can sell it quickly at any jeweler or bullion dealer in any city in Pakistan.
On the other hand, gold does not generate income like stocks or rental property. Its price can also be volatile in the short term. For most Pakistani investors, a balanced approach — allocating 10-20% of savings to gold — is commonly recommended by financial planners.
