Gold prices have risen again in Bangladesh, with the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) increasing the price by Tk 2,158 per bhori. As a result, the price of 22-carat gold, including VAT, has climbed to Tk 236,779 per bhori.

BAJUS announced the new prices in a notice issued on Saturday (August 15). The revised rates came into effect at 10am the same day.

According to the notice, the price of Tejabi gold, or pure gold, has increased in the local market. Considering the overall market situation, BAJUS has revised the prices of gold accordingly, including VAT.

Under the new rates, one bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold costs Tk 236,779, including VAT. The price of 21-carat gold has been set at Tk 226,165 per bhori, while 18-carat gold costs Tk 194,206. Gold sold under the traditional method is priced at Tk 158,630 per bhori.

BAJUS said the revised prices will remain effective at all jewellery shops until further notice. Labour charges will apply depending on the design of the jewellery. Since VAT is already included in the selling price of gold and silver jewellery, customers cannot be charged VAT separately. The association’s previous rules will remain applicable to jewellery exchange and purchase after excluding the applicable VAT, labour charges and stone costs.

Before this latest adjustment, BAJUS last revised gold prices on the morning of August 14. At that time, the association reduced the price by Tk 2,158 per bhori, setting the price of 22-carat gold, including VAT, at Tk 234,621.

On August 14, the price of 21-carat gold was fixed at Tk 224,065 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk 192,398, and traditional-method gold at Tk 157,172. Those prices came into effect from 10am that day.

With the latest adjustment, gold prices have now been revised 104 times in Bangladesh this year. Prices have increased on 52 occasions, decreased 51 times and undergone one VAT-related adjustment.

In 2025, gold prices were revised 93 times in total, with 64 increases and 29 decreases.

Meanwhile, silver prices have remained unchanged despite the latest gold price adjustment. Currently, 22-carat silver is selling at Tk 5,074 per bhori, including VAT. The price of 21-carat silver is Tk 4,841, 18-carat silver Tk 4,199, and traditional-method silver Tk 3,149 per bhori.

Silver prices have been adjusted 62 times so far this year, with 32 increases and 30 decreases. In 2025, silver prices were revised 13 times, increasing on 10 occasions and decreasing three times.
