India's golden tariffs

Article Abstract:

Demand for gold is strong in India, where more was spent on the metal than on cars in 1998, according to one calculation. The government has raised import tariffs on gold, but this is unlikely to reduce demand, due to cultural pressures such as the usage of gold as a means of saving in rural areas. Critics argue that the government simply wishes to increase tax revenues by imposing this tariff.
