Bangladesh Jewellers Association Increases Gold Price Again

The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has raised the price of gold in the local market for the second time this week, increasing the rate of 22-carat gold by Tk 1,633 per bhori to Tk 2,36,779, including VAT.

This adjustment was made due to the recent rise in the price of pure gold in the local market, prompting an overall reassessment of VAT-inclusive gold prices. The revised rates came into effect from 10am on August 13.

The organisation announced that the new prices will remain effective at all jewellery shops across the country until further notice, with making charges continuing to apply depending on jewellery design.
