Gold prices in Bangladesh rose sharply again within 24 hours as the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) on Monday increased the price by Tk2,916 per bhori, following a hike a day earlier.
In a notification issued at night, BAJUS fixed the price of 22-carat gold at Tk227,856 per bhori (11.664 grams), which will come into effect from Tuesday morning.
The jewellers’ body said the latest adjustment was made considering the rise in the local market price of pure gold (tejabi gold).
According to the revised rates, 21-carat gold will be sold at Tk217,534 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk186,449 per bhori, while gold under the traditional method will cost Tk155,423 per bhori.
In addition to the set price, buyers will have to pay a mandatory 5% VAT set by the government and a minimum 6 percent making charge fixed by BAJUS. However, making charges may vary depending on the design and quality of jewellery.
BAJUS last adjusted gold prices on January 4, when it raised the price by Tk2,216 per bhori, setting the 22-carat gold price at Tk224,940.
With the latest revision, gold prices have been adjusted three times in the first five days of 2026—two increases and one decrease.
In 2025, gold prices were revised 93 times in the local market, with hikes on 64 occasions and reductions on 29.
Alongside that of gold, silver prices were also increased this time. The price of 22-carat silver was raised by Tk385 per bhori to Tk5,925.
This marks the second adjustment of silver prices so far this year—one increase and one decrease.
In 2025, silver prices were revised 13 times, with prices rising 10 times and falling three times.
