The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has once again increased gold prices in the domestic market, raising the rate of 22-carat gold by Tk 3,324 per bhori to Tk 277,428.
The new prices were announced in a statement issued on Tuesday and took effect from 10:30 AM on the same day.
According to BAJUS, the latest hike follows an increase in the price of pure gold (acid gold) in the local market. The association said it reviewed the overall market situation before determining the revised rates.
Under the updated pricing structure, 22-carat gold will be sold at Tk 277,428 per bhori (11.664 grams), while 21-carat gold is priced at Tk 264,773 per bhori. The rate for 18-carat gold has been set at Tk 226,981 per bhori, and gold produced through the traditional method will cost Tk 185,749 per bhori.
BAJUS also noted that the final selling price must include a mandatory 5 percent government VAT and a minimum 6 percent wage fixed by the association. However, making charges may vary depending on the design and craftsmanship of the jewellery.
So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 36 times in the domestic market, raised on 24 occasions and reduced 12 times.
Meanwhile, silver prices remain unchanged in the local market. The price of 22-carat silver stands at Tk 7,173 per bhori.
