Bangladesh Gold Prices Soar Past Tk.2.32 Lakh Per Bhori
The Bangladesh Jeweller's Association (BAJUS) has announced updated prices for gold and silver in the local market. The recent upward adjustments have resulted in significantly high prices, with top-tier gold exceeding Tk.2.32 lakh per Bhori (11.664 grams).
The current best quality 22-carat gold is priced at Tk.2,32,930 per Bhori inclusive of VAT. Buyers looking for 21-carat gold will need to pay Tk.2,00,491 per Bhori while 18-carat gold is selling for Tk.1,91,056 per Bhori.
The traditional-method gold price has been set at Tk.1,56,064 per Bhori. In the silver market, premium 22-carat silver is now priced at Tk.5,016 per Bhori, while 21-carat silver is trading at Tk.4,782 and traditional-method silver is available for standard retail purchases.
The prevailing rates came into effect on September 12 after BAJUS hiked the price of high-quality gold by Tk.1,050 per Bhori in response to local bullion market fluctuations. Jewelers across the country will continue to sell gold and silver at these fixed prices until the association announces its next market update.
