United Arab Emirates gold market
The UAE — and specifically Dubai's Gold Souk in Deira — is one of the world's largest gold trading hubs by volume. Both 21K and 22K dominate jewellery; 24K is common for investment bars. The UAE introduced 5% VAT in 2018 but exempts investment-grade gold (≥99% purity); only the making charge on jewellery is taxed. The Dirham (AED) is pegged to USD at 3.6725, so AED gold prices mirror USD spot.
