Egypt gold market
Egypt's gold market is driven by jewellery demand at 21K and 18K. The Egyptian Pound (EGP) has been under floating-exchange-rate pressure since 2022, making EGP gold prices a hedge against inflation — local demand spikes around currency-devaluation announcements. A 14% VAT applies to jewellery making-charges only. Egypt's largest gold-trading street is Khan el-Khalili in Cairo, with reference prices published daily by the Gold Division of the General Federation of Chambers of Commerce.
Common questions about 24K gold in Egypt
