The head of the Gold and Jewelery Division at the Chambers of Commerce, Naguib Club, called on citizens to sell gold (the broken stock) to them, in order to benefit from the high price of gold on international stock exchanges, and he advised them to go to purchase despite the high price, stressing that it is a safe haven compared to the dollar, which is witnessing A significant decline in front of the Egyptian pound during the current period.
It is worth noting that the prices of the yellow metal are witnessing instability during the current period, due to the change in the price of gold on the global gold exchange affected by the spread of the Corona virus, but it is considered a safe haven for many Egyptians, and they prefer it to real estate investment that is witnessing a great recession, recently due to the exaggerated price increase , As most Egyptians seek to buy it because its value increases day after day, and they prefer it to put their money in banks, and with every slight decrease they seek to buy it and keep it until its value rises and they sell it.
Egypt relies heavily on gold, because it occupies the largest share of its exports that exceed billions of dollars annually, and gold is exported in the form of alloys and not gold jewelery, especially since the Egyptian seal is not approved externally.
