The price of gold in Burma was higher than the international price last week, said a Rangoon gold merchant on Sunday.
“Last week, the local price of gold was a lot higher than the global price due to pure gold from China coming into the country,” he said.
“The global gold price fell by US $30 this week. So [in keeping with the usual trend], the local price should fall by 10,000 kyat ($12), but it only fell 5,000 kyat ($6), because of the import of Chinese gold to the country”, said another gold merchant, who own a gold shop on Mahabandula Road.
