Gold Price in Pakistan Reaches Historic Level
On September 29, 2025, the gold price in Pakistan hit a historic milestone, with one tola priced at PKR 403,600. This is the first time in the country’s history that gold has crossed the 400,000 PKR mark per tola. The surge reflects both local and international market trends, as well as growing investor interest in gold as a stable asset.
Local Market Trends
According to the All Pakistan Gems & Jewelers Association, one tola of gold increased by PKR 5,900, while 10 grams of gold is now priced at PKR 346,021, up by PKR 5,059 from the previous rate. Local jewelers report higher demand, with buyers seeking to secure gold as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.
International Market Impact
Globally, gold prices have also been rising. The international gold rate per ounce increased by $59, reaching $3,818. Experts say this upward trend is largely due to stronger global demand, geopolitical uncertainties, and fluctuations in the US dollar, which directly affect the local gold price in Pakistan.
Gold as a Safe-Haven Investment
Historically, gold has been considered a safe-haven investment. During periods of economic or political instability, investors turn to gold to protect their wealth. In Pakistan, gold continues to serve as a reliable store of value, especially when inflation and currency volatility impact other asset classes.
Pricing Mechanism and Local Factors
Last year, Pakistan revised its gold pricing system, adding $20 per ounce above the international market rate. This adjustment helps stabilize local prices while reflecting global trends. Economic factors such as dollar fluctuations, rising import costs, and demand from jewelers have further contributed to the record-breaking gold price in Pakistan.
Outlook for Investors
Analysts predict that gold prices may remain high in the short term due to ongoing economic uncertainty, rising global demand, and domestic currency fluctuations. For investors, gold remains a key option to preserve capital and hedge against inflation.
