Gold outshines all, emerges as Pakistan’s best-performing asset in 2025

Gold dominated Pakistan’s asset landscape in 2025, emerging as the best-performing investment as both domestic and international prices posted sharp gains over the year. In Pakistan, gold delivered an exceptional 73% return in PKR terms, Topline Securities revealed in its report, with prices rising from Rs233,711 per 10 grams at the start of the year to Rs405,402 per 10 grams by late December. “In the international market, gold prices also increased from $2,612 per ounce on December 31, 2024, to $4,503 per ounce on December 26, 2025,” read the report. The surge is driven by strong investor demand amid geopolitical risks and shifting interest rate expectations, allowing gold to emerge as the top-performing asset class in Pakistan during the outgoing year.
