Gold is a currency of intrinsic value and if not tracked is a major contributor to the black economy.GOLD is a national resource,
and even when a few kilograms of Gold move, everyone knows about it.
that includes from north to south of the planet.
so, none of that is true, or at least over exaggerated.
No one can smuggle gold in, unless it is purchased by the smugglers from those who produce the gold.
and it is absolutely nonsense that such huge amounts are purchased without any tracing.
Gold is smuggled into Pakistan via Afghanistan and other modes. Same is the case when it goes out.
The documented import and export of Gold is a tiny bit of the actual amount.
Take this scenario, gold purchased from Dubai, ending up in Afghanistan by air, and then off to Pakistan via multiple consignments through the border and vice versa. A few thousand kgs change hands on a monthly basis and that is an understatement. Everyone involved in the supply chain get their due share.
When barrels of oil can change hands on the Iran Pakistan border, what is gold?
