Gold prices in Pakistan have reached a record-breaking level, creating concern among traders, investors, and buyers alike.
As of November 2025, the price of 24-karat gold stands at Rs 447,700 per tola, while 10 grams of 24-karat gold are priced at Rs 383,840.
For 22-karat gold, the rate is around Rs 410,390 per tola and Rs 351,851 per 10 grams.
Why Are Gold Prices Increasing in Pakistan?
- Global Economic Instability
Uncertainty in the world economy, including geopolitical conflicts and inflation fears, has encouraged investors to move towards gold as a safe-haven asset. - Weakness of the US Dollar
Since gold is traded globally in US dollars, a weaker dollar raises gold prices in countries like Pakistan. - Low Interest Rates & Central Bank Policies
Lower interest rates reduce returns on savings, leading people to invest in tangible assets such as gold. - High Demand and Limited Supply
Increasing demand from jewelry makers, investors, and central banks combined with limited global supply continues to push prices upward.
Impact of High Gold Prices
- Jewelry Buyers
Wedding and jewelry costs have risen sharply, reducing the number of customers in markets across Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. - Investors
Those who bought gold earlier this year are seeing excellent profits, but experts warn that such record highs may be followed by a market correction. - Jewelry Industry
Rising raw material costs are increasing production expenses for goldsmiths, affecting their sales and profit margins. - Inflation & Purchasing Power
High gold prices often signal inflation and a weakening Pakistani rupee, affecting the overall buying power of consumers.
