Gold prices in Bangladesh have been increased once again, with the revised rates coming into effect Sunday. However, the price of silver remains unchanged.
The latest adjustment was announced in a notice issued late on 10 January by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS), raising gold prices by Tk1,050 per bhori.
According to the notice, the price hike comes in response to an increase in the local market rate of pure (tejabi) gold. Based on the overall situation, BAJUS has fixed new prices for different categories of gold.
Under the new rates, 22-carat gold will now be sold at Tk2,27,856 per bhori (11.664 grams). The price of 21-carat gold has been set at Tk2,17,534 per bhori, 18-carat at Tk1,86,449 per bhori, while traditional gold will cost Tk1,55,423 per bhori.
BAJUS also stated that 5% government-imposed VAT and a minimum labor charge of 6% must be added to the selling price of gold. Labor charges may vary depending on design and craftsmanship.
Earlier, on 8 January, BAJUS adjusted gold prices by reducing the rate of 22-carat gold by Tk1,050 per bhori, fixing the price at Tk2,26,806 per bhori.
At that time, 21-carat gold was priced at Tk2,16,484 per bhori, 18-carat at Tk1,85,574 per bhori, and traditional gold at Tk1,54,665 per bhori. Those rates came into effect from 9 January.
With this latest revision, gold prices have now been adjusted five times in the domestic market this year – three increases and two reductions. In 2025 alone, gold prices were adjusted 93 times, with 64 increases and 29 decreases.
Despite the latest rise in gold prices, the silver market remains unchanged. Currently, 22-carat silver is being sold at Tk5,540 per bhori. The 21-carat rate stands at Tk5,307, 18-carat at Tk4,549, while traditional silver is selling at Tk3,383 per bhori.
