   Check the gold price in United States dollar per ounce 24K from a trusted source (e.g., 2,673)

2. Convert the price of gold from United States dollar to West African CFA Franc

   Assume the exchange rate is 640 West African CFA Franc per United States dollar. Use the formula:

Gold Making Charges in Mali

In Mali, the gold making charges constitute a significant aspect of the overall cost involved in the gold market. Typically, these charges are expressed as a percentage of the gram price of gold. As of the latest data, the making charges range from 5% to 10% of the market price per gram of gold. This percentage can vary based on factors such as the purity of the gold, the intricacy of the design in the case of jewelry, and the specific practices of individual jewelers.
