The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) on Saturday raised the price of gold in the domestic market by Tk 5,482 per bhori, ending a brief two-round decline, and set the new retail price of 22-carat gold at Tk 228,556 per bhori.
The new price came into effect from 10:00 am.
In a circular issued in the morning, 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 Tk 218,292 per bhori, an increase of Tk 5,249, while 18-carat gold has gone up by Tk 4,490 to Tk 187,440 per bhori. Traditional-method (sanatan) gold has been set at Tk 153,148 per bhori, up by Tk 3,674.
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 the design. As VAT is already included in the selling price, jewellers will not be permitted to collect it separately from customers.
Bajus also said its existing rules on jewellery exchange and purchase, excluding specific VAT, making charges and stones, will remain unchanged. A decision on VAT applicable to silver ornaments will be announced shortly.
The last adjustment came on June 25, when Bajus cut the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 2,216 per bhori to Tk 223,074.
Saturday's hike marked 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 increasing by Tk 175 to Tk 4,666 per bhori.
The prices of 21-carat, 18-carat and traditional-method (sanatan) silver have been set at Tk 4,432, Tk 3,791 and Tk 2,858 per bhori, respectively.
Silver has seen 50 price adjustments so far in 2026 -- 25 upward and 25 downward.
