Bangladesh’s gold market has witnessed another substantial price increase, with the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announcing a fresh adjustment to gold prices across the country. Under the new rates, the price of 22-carat gold has been raised by Tk 5,482 per bhori, taking the retail price to Tk 230,422 per bhori.
BAJUS disclosed the revised prices in a statement issued on Monday, 15 June. The association said the new rates would come into effect from 10:00 am on the same day.
According to the statement, the latest revision was prompted by an increase in the price of pure gold in the local market. Taking into account prevailing market conditions, BAJUS decided to adjust gold prices accordingly.
Under the revised schedule, the price of gold per bhori (11.664 grams) has been fixed as follows:
| Gold Category | New Price per Bhori (Tk) |
|---|---|
| 22-carat | 230,422 |
| 21-carat | 219,983 |
| 18-carat | 188,549 |
| Traditional Method Gold | 153,557 |
The latest increase comes only two days after BAJUS last adjusted gold prices. On 13 June, the association raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 6,590 per bhori, setting the rate at Tk 224,940. At that time, the prices for other categories were also revised upward.
The previous pricing structure, effective from 10:00 am on 13 June, was as follows:
| Gold Category | Previous Price per Bhori (Tk) |
| 22-carat | 224,940 |
| 21-carat | 214,734 |
| 18-carat | 184,058 |
| Traditional Method Gold | 149,882 |
A comparison of the two revisions shows the extent of the latest increase:
| Gold Category | Previous Price (Tk) | New Price (Tk) | Increase (Tk) |
| 22-carat | 224,940 | 230,422 | 5,482 |
| 21-carat | 214,734 | 219,983 | 5,249 |
| 18-carat | 184,058 | 188,549 | 4,491 |
| Traditional Method Gold | 149,882 | 153,557 | 3,675 |
The frequent adjustments reflect ongoing fluctuations in the domestic gold market. According to BAJUS data, gold prices have been revised 75 times in Bangladesh so far this year. Of those adjustments, prices were increased on 39 occasions and reduced on 36 occasions.
The pattern of frequent revisions was also evident in 2025. During that year, gold prices were adjusted a total of 93 times in the domestic market. Among those revisions, prices increased 64 times, while reductions were recorded on 29 occasions.
The latest announcement continues a trend of repeated price revisions in response to movements in the value of pure gold in the local market, with BAJUS stating that the new rates have been determined after reviewing overall market conditions.
