GJEPC’s IIJS Premiere 2023 held at two venues simultaneously, generates highest-ever business of over Rs. 70,000 crore: A resounding Success!

GJEPC’s IIJS Premiere 2023 held at two venues simultaneously, generates highest-ever business of over Rs. 70,000 crore. IIJS Premiere 2023 continues to impress with its remarkable statistics and impressive offerings, bringing together the world’s gems and jewellery industry in a dazzling extravaganza that showcases the very best in craftsmanship, innovation, and global connections.

The World Gold Council’s latest Gold Demand Trends report reveals that gold benefited from record central bank buying in the first half of the year and was supported by healthy investment markets and resilient jewellery demand. Gold demand (excluding OTC) dropped by 2% y/y to 921t during Q2, although total demand (inclusive of OTC) was up 7% y/y, pointing to a solid gold market globally.

Second quarter central bank demand was down y/y to 103t, primarily driven by net sales in Turkey due to country-specific political and economic circumstances. However, central banks bought a first half record amount of 387t, and quarterly demand is in line with the longer-term positive trend – indicating that official sector buying should remain strong throughout the year.
