How to read these historical prices
For an actual local market checkpoint: Business Recorder reported APGJSA’s 5 September 2026 rate at Rs465,536 per tola. This dated local quote is separate from the calculated monthly series above and is not a live price.
The graph combines the World Bank Pink Sheet’s monthly gold price with the BIS monthly average Pakistan rupee exchange rate. For each month: USD per troy ounce × PKR per USD × 0.375 = indicative PKR per tola. A tola is approximately 11.6638 grams.
Using the product of two monthly averages provides a consistent historical benchmark; it is not the same as averaging daily Pakistani transaction prices. The World Bank also notes a source-method change in June 2025: spot averages replaced the earlier London afternoon-fixing series. The calculations retain the source’s published history.
Why stop at July 2026? The retrieved gold series reaches August, but the matching BIS monthly exchange-rate series currently ends in July. August’s rupee benchmark is therefore left blank. Figures are a snapshot checked on 6 September 2026, not an automatically updating feed.
Can I use the 22K option to price jewellery? It estimates the metal-content equivalent by multiplying by 22/24. It does not include making charges, stones, taxes, a seller’s margin or buyback deductions. Ask for a current itemised quote before buying.
For more context, read LIP’s dated local gold-market coverage, rupee-dollar outlook and Pakistan inflation explainer. A rise in nominal gold value is not the same as an equal rise in purchasing power.
