Bangladesh Jewellers' Association Raises Gold Price by Tk 2,216

The Bangladesh Jewellers' Association (Bajus) has increased the price of gold by Tk 2,216 per bhori. This change sets the new price of 22-karat gold at Tk 223,074 per bhori, including VAT.

This revision was made due to a rise in the price of pure gold in the local market. The new rates took effect from 10 am on Monday morning.

Under the revised rates, a bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-karat gold ornaments will now cost Tk 223,074, including VAT. The prices of other types of gold were also increased: 21-karat gold by Tk 2,100 to Tk 213,043 per bhori, and 18-karat gold by Tk 1,750 to Tk 182,950.

Silver prices were also revised upward alongside gold. The price of 22-karat silver ornaments was raised by Tk 59 to Tk 4,666 per bhori, including VAT.
