Bajus Hikes Gold Prices by Tk5,482 per Bhori Amid Pure Gold Price Increase
The Bangladesh Jeweller's Association (Bajus) has increased gold prices in the local market, effective from Saturday morning. This marks the 106th adjustment of gold prices in 2026, with 54 rate hikes and 51 downward revisions.
Bajus announced that the price of 22-carat gold has been raised to Tk2,46,110 per bhori (11.664 grams), while 21-carat gold will now cost Tk 2,35,030 per bhori. Traditional gold will be priced at Tk1,64,812 per bhori.
The association stated that the increase in pure gold prices prompted the revision of gold prices, inclusive of VAT (Value-Added Tax). The new rates will remain effective at all jewellery shops until further notice, with making charges varying depending on ornament design. Since VAT is already included in the sale price of gold and silver ornaments, jewellers cannot charge VAT separately from customers.
