Bangladesh Gold Price Hikes Again Amid Rising Pure Gold Costs
The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has raised the price of gold in the domestic market for the fourth time this year, increasing the rate of 22-carat gold by Tk 5,482 per bhori.
The new prices came into effect from 10am on Thursday morning and will remain effective at all jewellery shops until further notice.
The price of 22-carat gold, including VAT, now stands at Tk 2,37,362 per bhori (11.664 grams), while the price of 21-carat gold has been set at Tk 2,26,690 per bhori, and traditional gold at Tk 1,58,980 per bhori.
The association said the hike was necessitated by a rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi) in the local market. The prices of other categories have also been revised, including silver, which has seen an increase of Tk 116 per bhori to Tk 5,132.
