The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has decided to raise gold prices once again in the local market. This time, the price of 22-carat gold has been increased by Tk 2,216 per bhori, setting it at Tk 244,711 per bhori.
In a notice issued on Thursday morning (May 7), BAJUS confirmed the new rates, which came into effect at 10:00 AM the same day.
The statement said the price adjustment was made due to the rise in the local market price of refined gold (pure gold), taking the overall situation into consideration.
According to the new price list, 22-carat gold is now priced at Tk 244,711 per bhori (11.664 grams). The prices for other categories are: 21-carat gold at Tk 233,572 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk 200,213 per bhori, and traditional gold at Tk 163,063 per bhori.
