Gold prices have increased once again. The price of 22-carat gold climbed by Tk2,216 per bhori (11.664 grams) to stand at Tk2,61,040.
Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced the new price hike through a press release on Monday.
The price of 21-carat gold is now Tk2,49,143 per bhori, 18-carat gold is Tk2,13,568 per bhori, and traditional method gold is set at Tk1,74,785 per bhori.
BAJUS said the adjustment was made in line with overall market conditions following a rise in the local price of tejabi gold, or pure gold.
The notice further said 5% VAT and a minimum wage of 6% must be added to the selling price of gold. The wage may vary depending on the design and quality of the jewellery.
However, the price of silver remains unchanged. Currently, 22‑carat silver is selling at Tk 6,707 per bhori, 21‑carat at Tk 6,415 per bhori, 18‑carat at Tk 5,482 per bhori, and traditional silver at Tk 4,082 per bhori.
