Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has reduced gold prices in the local market after increasing rates in two consecutive revisions, lowering the price of 22-carat gold by Tk2,216 per bhori.
Under the new rates, one bhori of 22-carat gold will now cost Tk242,495.
Bajus announced the revised prices in a statement on Friday morning and said the new rates would come into effect from 10am. The association said prices were adjusted as the rate of pure gold declined in the local market.
According to the new pricing structure, 21-carat gold will cost Tk231,472 per bhori, while 18-carat gold has been fixed at Tk198,405 per bhori. The price of traditional method gold has been set at Tk161,605 per bhori.

The rates had also become effective from 10am on that day. With the latest adjustment, gold prices have been revised 64 times in the local market so far this year.
Among the revisions, prices were increased 36 times and reduced 28 times. In 2025, Bajus adjusted gold prices 93 times, including 64 hikes and 29 reductions. Despite the reduction in gold prices, silver prices remained unchanged in the local market.
