Gold prices have been reduced by Tk 2,216 per bhori

The price of gold in Bangladesh has been lowered by Tk 2,216 per bhori, setting the new rate of 22-carat gold at Tk 258,824 per bhori (11.664 grams), the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced on Tuesday.

In a notification issued in the morning, BAJUS said the adjustment followed a decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market. The revised rates have taken effect immediately.

Under the updated pricing structure, 21-carat gold has been fixed at Tk 247,044 per bhori, while 18-carat gold is priced at Tk 211,760 per bhori. Gold produced through the traditional method will cost Tk 173,327 per bhori.

The final selling price must include a mandatory 5 percent government VAT and a minimum 6 percent making charge set by BAJUS. However, the making charge may vary depending on the design and quality of the jewellery.

Earlier, on February 9, BAJUS had raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 2,216 per bhori to Tk 261,040.

So far in 2026, gold prices in the local market have been revised 29 times—18 increases and 11 reductions.

Despite the latest cut in gold prices, silver rates remain unchanged. Currently, 22-carat silver is selling at Tk 6,357 per bhori. The price of 21-carat silver stands at Tk 6,065 per bhori, 18-carat silver at Tk 5,190 per bhori, and traditional silver at Tk 3,907 per bhori.
