Gold prices have fallen again in Bangladesh’s domestic market. The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has revised the prices following a decline in the price of pure gold, locally known as Tejabi gold.

BAJUS announced the revised prices in a notice issued on Friday (August 14). The new rates came into effect at 10am the same day.

According to the new rates, the price of 22-carat gold, including VAT, has been set at Tk 234,621 per bhori (11.664 grams). Meanwhile, 21-carat gold will cost Tk 224,065 per bhori, 18-carat gold Tk 192,398 per bhori, and traditional-method gold Tk 157,172 per bhori.

BAJUS said the revised prices will remain effective at all jewellery shops across the country until further notice. However, labour charges will apply depending on the design of the jewellery.

The association also said VAT is already included in the selling price of gold and silver jewellery, so customers cannot be charged VAT separately. The previous BAJUS rules will remain in effect for jewellery exchange and purchase after excluding applicable VAT, labour charges and the value of stones.

According to BAJUS data, gold prices have been adjusted 103 times in Bangladesh’s domestic market so far this year. Prices have been increased on 51 occasions, reduced on 51 occasions, and VAT has been adjusted once.

In 2025, gold prices were adjusted a total of 93 times in the domestic market. Prices were increased 64 times and reduced 29 times.
