Gold prices have risen again in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 1,633 per bhori, setting the new price at Tk 247,743 per bhori, including VAT.

BAJUS announced the new prices in a statement on Tuesday (August 25). The revised prices came into effect at 10am the same day.

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

Under the new rates, one bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold will cost Tk 247,743. Meanwhile, 21-carat gold will cost Tk 236,604 per bhori, 18-carat gold Tk 203,186, and traditional-method gold Tk 165,920 per bhori.

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

Before this latest adjustment, BAJUS revised gold prices on Saturday (August 22). On that occasion, it increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 5,482 per bhori, setting the price at Tk 246,110, including VAT.
