Gold prices in Pakistan jump Rs3600 per tola
Prices likely to see big hike soon in country due to halt in gold import
Gold prices in Pakistan rose sharply on Monday, tracking gains in the international market, the 24NewsHD TV channel reported.
The precious metal surged by Rs 3600 per tola, reaching Rs 361,200 in the local market, according to the All-Pakistan Gems and Jewellers Sarafa Association (APGJSA).
Similarly, the price of 10-gram gold increased by Rs 3087, settling at Rs 309,671.
The surge comes in line with rising global gold trends, where the precious metal gained $36 per ounce, reaching $3,387.
Market analysts suggested that gold prices in Pakistan are expected to rise even further, as official data reveals a complete halt in gold imports during recent months -- raising fresh concerns over supply shortages and market volatility.
According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (FBS), no gold was imported in June 2025, marking a 100 percent decline compared to May 2025, when only 9kg of gold had been imported.
This is not the first time the country has faced a drought in gold imports.
In the previous fiscal year, gold imports remained zero for three months as well.
The shortage in imports has had a direct impact on local gold prices.
Over the past year, the price of 24-karat gold per tola surged by a staggering Rs116,000, rising from Rs241,000 to Rs357,000 per tola.
