Gold gets cheaper as Bajus slashes prices for 2nd time this month
The price of 21-carat gold has been set at Tk212,635 per bhori, while 18-carat gold will be sold at Tk182,250 per bhori.
Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has reduced gold prices in the domestic market for the second time this month, cutting the price of 22-carat gold by Tk6,591 per bhori to Tk222,782.
The new rates came into effect from 10am today (10 June), according to a Bajus statement.
Bajus said the decision was taken following a decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market. Under the revised rates, a bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold will now cost Tk222,782.
