Where the numbers come from

How the price is worked out

The world price of one troy ounce of gold in US dollars is taken each business day from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, which publishes it daily.
It is converted to British pound at the official exchange rate of the same day (European Central Bank).
Dividing by 31.1035 gives the price of one gram of pure (24K) gold.
Other karats are worked out by purity: 18 is 18/24 of the 24K price.
