There has been a rising trend in the domestic gold prices in Nepal over the past few years.
According to the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association (FENEGOSIDA), the gold price has reached an all-time high of NPR 80,300 per tola in the domestic market on February 24, 2020.
The gold price has registered an increase by NPR 1,500 in a single day from NPR 78,800 per tola.
The outbreak of coronavirus in China is the main cause for the hike in the gold price, stated Dharma Sundar Bajracharya, General Secretary of the FENEGOSIDA.
He said that the coronavirus epidemic has instigated the Americans and Europeans to invest in gold which has spiked the gold price.
