Pakistan gold rate history in Saudi riyals
The riyal's dollar peg means a Pakistani gold chart in riyals is a dollar chart in disguise. Set beside the rupee chart, it separates the two forces Pakistani families experience as one: the metal getting dearer, and the rupee getting weaker.
What the riyal series strips out
Any divergence between the riyal series and the rupee series is rupee depreciation, not gold. That is why a family in Pakistan can feel priced out while a worker in Riyadh sees a modest increase.
For someone saving in riyals to buy gold in Pakistan later, the riyal series is the honest measure of whether waiting helped.
Riyal figures are not Saudi souk prices
These figures convert the Karachi Sarafa 24K tola board rate at the open-market SAR/PKR rate. Saudi souks quote per gram and add 15% VAT on jewellery.
