How the gold market works in Saudi Arabia

Saudi retail gold is priced per gram by karat — 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K — and 21K is the most popular choice for Gulf-style jewellery. The riyal is pegged at 3.75 to the US dollar, so local prices follow world spot directly.

Since July 2020 gold jewellery has carried 15% VAT, which is added to both the metal and the making charge. Investment gold of 99% purity or higher is zero-rated, so bars and coins avoid the tax.

Gold markets in Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca and Medina are busiest before Ramadan, at Eid, during Hajj and Umrah season, and at weddings. Pilgrims are a large part of demand in the holy cities.
