Gold prices in the country have increased once again. This time, the price has gone up by Tk 1,680 per bhori, effective from Sunday (November 2).
With the new rate, the price of 22-carat gold now stands at Tk 201,776 per bhori.
A statement issued by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) on Saturday (November 1) confirmed the price adjustment.
According to the statement, the price of gold has been revised due to an increase in the price of pure (tezaabi) gold in the local market.
As per the new price chart—
22-carat: Tk 201,776 per bhori
21-carat: Tk 192,596 per bhori

Traditional method: Tk 137,180 per bhori
The statement also mentioned that a 5 percent government-fixed VAT and a 6 percent minimum making charge set by BAJUS must be added to the sale price. However, the making charge may vary depending on the design and quality of the jewelry.
