Gold is priced globally in US dollars. When the Pakistani rupee weakens against the dollar, the PKR price of gold rises even if the international USD spot price stays flat. Pakistan's floating exchange rate means local gold prices can diverge sharply from international trends during periods of rupee volatility.What are sarafa bazaars?
Sarafa bazaars are traditional wholesale and retail gold markets found in major Pakistani cities. Karachi's Sarafa Bazaar and Lahore's Andaaz Chowk are among the most prominent. Rates in these markets are guided by the All-Pakistan Sarafa Gems & Jewellers Association's daily announced price.Is gold a common savings instrument in Pakistan?
