Gold Prices History of Pakistan
Early 2000s: Gold prices were relatively stable, hovering around Rs. 5,000 per tola (11.66 grams).
Mid-2000s: Prices began to rise steadily, reaching Rs. 12,000 per tola by 2007. This was largely due to a global increase in gold demand and the weakening Pakistani rupee.
2008-2012: The global financial crisis caused gold prices to skyrocket, reaching a peak of Rs. 42,000 per tola in 2012. This made gold a popular investment option in Pakistan, as it offered a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
2013-2019: Prices gradually declined from their peak, settling around Rs. 50,000 per tola for several years. This was due to a combination of factors, including increased global supply, a strengthening rupee, and reduced investor demand.
2020-Present: Gold prices have once again been on the rise, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and rising inflation. As of January 2024, the price of gold in Pakistan is around Rs. 221,300 per tola.

- Cultural Significance: Gold remains deeply ingrained in Pakistani culture, playing a role in weddings, festivals, and gift-giving traditions. Its price fluctuations can impact individual and family finances.
- Investment Avenue: Gold has traditionally served as a safe haven investment, especially during times of economic uncertainty. Its price history reflects the changing risk appetite of investors.
