Iraq gold market

Iraq buys gold at 21K in the Gulf style, with 18K common in Baghdad's newer retail and 22K favoured in the Kurdistan region. The dinar is managed against the dollar by the Central Bank of Iraq, but the daily rate at Baghdad's exchange shops has traded above the official one, so a gram priced in IQD reflects whichever rate the shop uses. Gold is a standard part of the mahr, and the Shorja and Nahr markets in Baghdad set prices the rest of the country tracks. Making charges are quoted per gram and negotiated, and there is no VAT on jewellery.

Common questions about 18K gold in Iraq
