How Pakistan’s Gold Rate Is Determined
Pakistan does not have a single centralised gold exchange the way stock markets do. Instead, the All Pakistan Sarafa Gems & Jewellers Association (APSGJA), headquartered in Karachi, issues a daily reference rate that jewellers across the country use as their pricing baseline. That rate itself is anchored to the international spot gold price (quoted as XAU/USD per troy ounce on global markets), adjusted for the current USD/PKR exchange rate, import costs, and local demand and supply. When international gold moves — because of US interest-rate decisions, geopolitical events, or shifts in the dollar — Pakistan’s local rate typically follows within hours, sometimes changing more than once in a single day. You can track the underlying international benchmark on our international gold rate and gold price in USD pages.
Today’s Gold Price in Major Cities of Pakistan
While the underlying 24K rate is essentially uniform nationwide, small city-to-city variations of a few dozen rupees per tola do occur, driven mainly by local transport costs and how quickly individual dealers update their boards. Here is how today’s rate compares across Pakistan’s largest gold markets.

Gold Price by Karat — Which One Is Which?
Not sure whether to look at 24K, 22K, 21K or 18K? Each karat serves a different purpose in Pakistan’s gold market:
- 24K Gold (999) — Because pure 24K gold is too soft for daily-wear jewellery, it is mainly bought as a store of value rather than worn.
- 22K Gold (916) — 22K (916) is the most widely traded karat in Pakistan's jewellery market and the one most local rate boards quote by default.
- 21K Gold (875) — 21K is the standard purity in Saudi Arabia and much of the Gulf, which is why it is popular with Pakistani expatriates.
- 18K Gold (750) — 18K's lower gold content makes it more affordable and more durable, which is why it dominates diamond and gemstone jewellery.

About Gold Rate in Pakistan Today
Gold has been central to South Asian savings culture for generations, bought as jewellery for weddings, held as a hedge against rupee depreciation and inflation, and increasingly traded as digital gold and ETFs by younger investors. Because the Pakistani rupee has historically been volatile against the US dollar, gold priced in PKR tends to rise even in periods when the international dollar price is flat or falling — which is why tracking both the local rate and the underlying international price matters for anyone buying, selling, or simply monitoring their gold holdings.
Frequently Asked Questions

24K is preferred for pure investment (bars/coins), while 22K is the most common choice for jewellery because it balances purity with the durability needed for daily wear.
