Globally, Pakistan's demand for gold surged by a minute 1.6 percent during second quarter of 2016 (April-June) outshining the demand by India.
Surprisingly, gold prices swelled by 28 percent as of January 2016 due to multiple factors including the "Brexit" but even then investors picked gold as the safest entity.
