Gold in Pakistan: the local market
Pakistani gold is priced per tola (11.664 g) — the quote every household knows — with jewelry in 22K and 21K. The Karachi and Lahore sarafa bazaars set daily reference rates.
With the rupee's long depreciation, gold-per-tola is effectively Pakistan's inflation index, and bridal sets remain the biggest purchase occasion.
