Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced this information in a notice issued on Saturday (November 1).
The new prices came into effect on Sunday (November 2) and remain the same today, Friday (November 7).
According to the notice, the adjustment was made due to an increase in the price of pure gold (Tezabi gold) in the local market.
