Gold prices in Bangladesh have climbed to an all-time high, with the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) fixing the price of 22-carat gold (11.664 grams) at Tk2,34,680 per bhori after raising it by Tk2,625.
In a statement issued on Wednesday night, Bajus said the new prices will come into effect from Thursday.
Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold will sell at Tk2,24,007 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk1,91,989 per bhori, while gold under the traditional method has been priced at Tk1,57,231 per bhori.
Bajus said the price adjustment was made considering the rise in the local market price of pure gold (tejaabi shona) and the overall market situation.
In addition to the announced selling price, buyers will have to pay a mandatory 5% value-added tax (VAT) set by the government and a minimum 6% making charge fixed by Bajus. The making charge, however, may vary depending on the design and quality of jewellery.
The last price revision was made on Monday, when Bajus raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk4,199 per bhori to Tk2,32,055.
With the latest adjustment, gold prices have been revised seven times so far in 2026 increased five times and reduced twice.
In 2025, Bajus revised gold prices a total of 93 times, increasing prices on 64 occasions and cutting them 29 times.
Despite the rise in gold prices, silver prices have remained unchanged in the domestic market.
The price of 22-carat silver is Tk5,949 per bhori.
Meanwhile, 21-carat silver is selling at Tk5,715 per bhori, 18-carat at Tk4,899 per bhori and silver under the traditional method at Tk3,674 per bhori.
So far this year, silver prices have been revised four times — increased twice and reduced twice. In 2025, silver prices were adjusted 13 times, with increases on 10 occasions and decreases on three.
