The price of gold in the country’s market last went up on Saturday morning. This time the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) raised it by Tk 1,691 per bhori. With this, the price of good-quality gold stands at Tk 234,621. The new price took effect from 10am that day. Gold will be sold at this price today, Thursday, as well.
Bajus said the new price was fixed considering the overall situation as the price of tejabi gold (pure gold) has gone up.
According to the new prices, hallmarked 22-carat gold is selling at Tk 234,621 per bhori (11.664 grams), 21-carat at Tk 224,065, 18-carat at Tk 192,397 and gold of the traditional method at Tk 157,172.

In the notice, Bajus said making charges will apply separately according to the design of the ornaments. However, as VAT is included in the selling price of gold and silver ornaments, VAT cannot be charged separately from customers.
