Gold prices in Pakistan surged today, December 20, 2025, amid rising demand and fluctuations in the global market. The increase reflects both local economic factors and international gold trends impacting investors and consumers nationwide.
Gold Price Increase Across Pakistan
The price of 24-karat gold in major cities including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad rose by approximately PKR 1,200 per 10 grams. This marks a significant uptick compared to last week’s rates, according to the Pakistan Bullion and Jewellers Association.
Experts attribute the rise to the weakening Pakistani rupee against the US dollar and increasing geopolitical tensions that have boosted the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset.
Factors Driving the Gold Price Surge
Global gold prices climbed due to ongoing uncertainty in international markets, especially amid recent developments in global diplomacy and trade policies. Additionally, local market dynamics such as tax reforms in Pakistan and shifts in investor confidence contribute to the upward trend.
An official from the Pakistan Gold and Silver Dealers Federation stated, “The latest movements in the global economy and the persistent volatility in currency exchange rates have led to a natural increase in gold prices domestically.”
Impact on the Pakistan Economy and Consumers
The rise in gold prices poses mixed effects on Pakistan’s economy. It tends to increase the value of gold reserves but simultaneously raises the cost of gold jewelry and investment products for consumers. Analysts suggest this development also influences purchasing patterns, especially amid fluctuating tax reforms Pakistan is currently implementing.
