As the pandemic eases out, more and more people are turning towards safe investments like gold. According to data from the World Gold Council (WGC), the demand for gold in the September quarter stood at 139.1 tonnes, which was 47% higher than the previous year.
This rising demand is not just limited to metros. People’s trust in gold remains intact in smaller cities as well. The surge in demand for gold is more than 20% in smaller cities, as per Justdial’s latest consumer insights report.
