Gold prices have been cut in the local market for the fourth consecutive time. This time the price has been reduced by Tk 2,158 per bhori. As a result, the price of one bhori (11.664 grams) of the best-quality, that is 22-carat, gold jewellery, including VAT, now stands at Tk 2,19,808.
The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced the new prices in a press release this Friday morning.
According to BAJUS, the adjustment was made because the price of pure (tejabi) gold has fallen in the local market. The new prices took effect from 10am today.
The decision to cut the price came from a meeting of the BAJUS Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring. It was later announced in a press release signed by the committee’s chairman, Dr Dewan Aminul Islam Shaheen.
Under the new BAJUS rates, 22-carat gold costs Tk 2,21,966 per bhori. 21-carat gold costs Tk 2,09,894 per bhori, 18-carat gold Tk 1,80,267 per bhori, and gold of the traditional method has been set at Tk 1,47,316 per bhori.
Although gold prices have fallen, BAJUS has kept silver prices unchanged. 22-carat silver jewellery costs Tk 3,499 per bhori, 21-carat Tk 3,383, 18-carat Tk 2,916 and traditional-method silver jewellery Tk 2,216 per bhori.
BAJUS said making charges will be added according to the design of the jewellery. As VAT is included in the selling price of gold and silver jewellery, VAT cannot be charged to buyers separately.
By the numbers
According to a BAJUS announcement, on 6 November the price of 22-carat gold was cut by Tk 2,741 per bhori and set at Tk 2,26,923 — Dhaka Times reported on 6 November 2026.
According to a bdnews24.com report on 6 November 2026, in the four days before that, BAJUS had raised the price of 22-carat gold by a total of Tk 12,072 per bhori in three phases, taking the price of gold of this grade to Tk 2,29,664 on Thursday (5 November).
