From KONTAN.CO.ID, JAKARTA. According to Daniar Wulandari, the head of the Gold Pawn & Installment Service Center at the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Ahmad Yani Semarang Branch, the practice of pawning gold increases during the Lebaran holiday compared to before. This trend is observed among the general public who use the funds as capital for their homecoming journey. On the other hand, merchants tend to pawn more gold during the fasting period. This is done to ensure sufficient stock in their stores. “As for the post-Lebaran period this year, it's too early to predict any rise or fall as we have just reopened,” Daniar told Kontan.co.id on Tuesday (16/4).
