After five consecutive hikes, the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has reduced domestic gold prices by up to Tk14,600 per bhori, setting the new rate for premium 22-carat gold at Tk271,363 per bhori. The revised prices came into effect from 10:45am on Friday. Previously, on Thursday, gold prices in Bangladesh had surged to Tk286,000 per bhori—the highest level ever recorded in the country’s history. According to Bajus, the adjustment was made in response to a decline in the price of pure gold in the international market, which has directly influenced local pricing.
