The price of gold was last raised in the country’s market 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 2,34,621. The new price came into effect from 10am that day. Gold will be sold at this price today, Tuesday, as well.
Bajus said the new rate has been fixed considering the overall situation as the price of tejabi gold (pure gold) has risen.
According to the new rate, the price of hallmarked 22-carat gold per bhori (11.664 grams) is Tk 2,34,621. Besides, the price has been fixed at Tk 2,24,065 per bhori of 21-carat, Tk 1,92,397 per bhori of 18-carat and Tk 1,57,172 per bhori of gold of the traditional method.
Earlier, Bajus had adjusted the gold price on 12 September. That day the price of good-quality gold was fixed at Tk 2,32,930, raising it by Tk 1,050 per bhori. At that time, the price was Tk 2,22,490 per bhori of 21-carat, Tk 1,91,056 per bhori of 18-carat and Tk 1,56,064 per bhori of gold of the traditional method.
In the notice, Bajus said making charges will apply depending on the design of the ornaments. However, as VAT is included in the selling price of gold and silver ornaments, VAT cannot be taken separately from the buyer.
