Gold jewellery exports expected to drop over 10%


The chaos in Iraq with Islamic fundamentalists taking over Mosul and other cities in northern Iraq has been bad news for the world and good news for gold.

PGA adviser Joeson Khor told StarBiz that for the first four months of the year, the value of exported gold jewellery dropped by 12.4% to RM1.429bil from RM1.632bil.
