ISLAMABAD: The price of silver in Pakistan depends on various factors such as the supply and demand of silver in the international market, the price of the dollar, inflation, public demand and government policies.
Determining the price of fifty-two and a half tola silver is important because historically it is considered a standard weight and most silver jewelry is manufactured under the same weight and specific standards. There can be slight fluctuations in the price of silver in different cities of Pakistan.
