Gold price up Tk5,482 per bhori, 22-carat now costs Tk2,28,556

Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) today (27 June) raised the price of gold in the domestic market by Tk5,482 per bhori, ending a brief two-round decline and fixed the new retail price of 22-carat gold at Tk2,28,556 per bhori. 

The new price came into effect  from 10am.

In a morning circular, Bajus said the revision was made in light of rising prices of pure (tejabi) gold in the local market.

Under the new rates, 21-carat gold has been priced at Tk2,18,292 per bhori, an increase of Tk5,249 while 18-carat gold has gone up by Tk4,490 to Tk1,87,440 per bhori. Traditional-method (sanatan) gold has been set at Tk1,53,148 per bhori, up by Tk3,674.

The new prices will remain in effect at all jewellery establishments across the country until further notice, Bajus said, adding that making charges will apply separately depending on design. As VAT is already included in the selling price, jewellers will not be permitted to collect it additionally from customers.

Bajus also said its earlier rules on jewellery exchange and purchase, excluding specific VAT, making charges and stones will remain unchanged, and a decision on VAT applicable to silver ornaments will be announced shortly.

The last adjustment had come on 25 June, when Bajus cut 22-carat gold prices by Tk2,216 per bhori to Tk2,23,074.

Saturday's hike marks the 82nd price adjustment this year in the domestic gold market, comprising 41 upward revisions, 40 downward revisions, and one VAT adjustment.

Silver prices were also raised on Saturday, with 22-carat silver going up by Tk175 to Tk4,666 per bhori.

Prices of 21-carat, 18-carat and sanatan-method silver have been fixed at Tk4,432, Tk3,791 and Tk2,858 per bhori, respectively.

Silver has seen 50 price adjustments so far in 2026, 25 upward and 25 downward.
