In July 2016, it appears that jewellery is the most popular investment in Goa for professionals and business owners, if the advertisements on local television channels will be monitored. In addition to jewellery stores in larger towns like panaji, mapusa, ponda, jewellers from other places like porvorim, and neighbouring states like Karnataka are also advertising on the local television channels .
It appears that many goans are visiting Belgaum or Belgavi for jewellery and other shopping.
A major advantage is that unlike bank deposits, mutual funds, share, bonds, investment in jewellery is not closely monitored by the tax and government authorities, and jewellery investors do not face harassment or impersonation fraud attempts.
