The Bangladesh Jeweller\u2019s Association (BAJUS) has cut gold prices again, reducing the rate of 22-carat gold by Tk 2,158 per bhori to Tk 2,31,880, including VAT.<\/p>\n
The new prices came into effect at 10:00am on Friday, according to a notice issued by the association.<\/p>\n
BAJUS said the latest adjustment was made in line with a decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market.<\/p>\n
Under the revised rates, a bhori (11.664 grams) of 21-carat gold will cost Tk 2,21,441, 18-carat gold Tk 1,90,123 and traditional gold Tk 1,55,306, all including VAT.<\/p>\n
The association said the new rates will remain effective until further notice, while making charges will vary depending on the design of the jewellery.<\/p>\n
As VAT is already included in the sale prices of gold and silver ornaments, it cannot be collected separately from customers.<\/p>\n
Existing rules for the exchange and purchase of ornaments will remain unchanged, apart from applicable VAT, making charges and stone costs.<\/p>\n
BAJUS last adjusted gold prices on September 9, cutting the rate by Tk 1,108 per bhori and setting the price of 22-carat gold at Tk 2,34,038.<\/p>\n
So far this year, gold prices have been adjusted 114 times in the local market — increased 56 times, decreased 57 times and revised once for VAT.<\/p>\n
Silver prices were also cut, with the rate of 22-carat silver reduced by Tk 116 per bhori to Tk 5,016, including VAT.<\/p>\n
The price of 21-carat silver was set at Tk 4,782, 18-carat at Tk 4,082 and traditional silver at Tk 3,091 per bhori.<\/p>\n
Silver prices have been adjusted 69 times so far this year — 35 increases and 34 decreases — compared with 13 adjustments in 2025, when prices were increased 10 times and decreased only three times.<\/p>\n
