The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced a reduction in gold prices in the local market. According to the new decision, the price of 22-carat gold has been lowered by Tk 2,158 per bhori (11.664 grams), bringing the new rate to Tk 240,337.
In a statement issued Tuesday morning, BAJUS said the revised prices came into effect from 10:00 am the same day.

- 21-carat gold: Tk 229,431 per bhori
