BAJUS Hikes Gold Prices to Tk223,074 per Bhori in Bangladesh

The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has increased gold prices in the country. The revised rates, which came into effect from July 31 at 10:00 am on Friday, still hold true today (Wednesday). According to BAJUS, the new prices were set after considering the overall market situation and the increase in acid gold prices locally.

Under the latest pricing, 22-carat gold is being sold at Tk223,074 per bhori (11.664 grams), including VAT. The price of traditional-method gold has been fixed at Tk149,474 per bhori.

BAJUS also stated that making charges for gold jewellery will vary depending on the design, but customers cannot be charged VAT separately since it is already included in the selling price of gold and silver jewellery.
