Pakistan gold prices: Gold and silver prices in Pakistan have touched a new high level. Amid rising inflation, weakening currency and pressure from the international market, the prices of precious metals have reached such levels that it has become difficult for common consumers to make purchases. Even the affluent class is forced to think several times before buying gold.
Price of one tola crosses five lakh
According to bullion market data on 11 February 2026, the price of 24-carat gold was recorded at around 43,534 Pakistani rupees per gram. In terms of tola, the price reached between 5,15,000 and 5,19,000 Pakistani rupees.
The price of 22-carat gold, which is usually used in jewellery, is around 40,500 to 41,200 Pakistani rupees per gram. In major cities like Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, no significant difference is being seen in prices, which makes it clear that the impact of inflation is being felt equally across the country.
Impact on weddings
The high prices of gold are also being seen affecting social life. Middle-class families, who traditionally used to save gold for weddings, are now avoiding new purchases. Many families are managing by exchanging old jewellery or choosing lighter ornaments. According to jewellery traders, there has also been a decline in demand.
Silver also expensive
A sharp increase has also been recorded in silver prices. Till 11 February, the price of silver was around 8,000 Pakistani rupees per tola and about 700 rupees per gram. To buy one kilogram of silver, nearly 7 lakh Pakistani rupees have to be spent. Rising costs are putting pressure on both small investors and artisans.
What is the reason for rising prices?
Experts say that Pakistan’s economic challenges are a major reason for this surge. The continuous fall of the Pakistani rupee against the dollar makes imported gold expensive. At the same time, fluctuations in prices in the international market have a direct impact on the local market.
