Gold hits record high in Bangladesh as prices jump by Tk4,199 per bhori

Under the new rate, the price of 22-carat gold has been set at Tk232,055 per bhori (11.664 grams), the highest level ever recorded in the local market.

BAJUS announced the price hike late Monday night, citing an increase in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market. Considering the overall market situation, the association said it has revised gold prices accordingly.

According to the new price structure, 21-carat gold will cost Tk221,499 per bhori, while 18-carat gold has been fixed at Tk189,890 per bhori. The price of gold under the traditional method has been set at Tk156,881 per bhori.

In addition to the announced prices, buyers will have to pay the government-mandated 5 percent VAT and a minimum 6 percent making charge set by BAJUS. However, the making charge may vary depending on the design and quality of jewellery.

BAJUS last revised gold prices on January 10, when it increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk1,050 per bhori to Tk227,856.

With the latest revision, gold prices have been adjusted six times so far this year, raised on four occasions and reduced twice. In 2025, gold prices were revised a total of 93 times, with hikes on 64 occasions and cuts on 29.

Silver prices have also been increased alongside gold. The price of 22-carat silver has been raised by Tk408 per bhori to Tk5,949.

Under the revised rates, 21-carat silver will sell at Tk5,715 per bhori, 18-carat silver at Tk4,899, and traditional method silver at Tk3,674 per bhori.

This marks the fourth adjustment of silver prices in the local market this year, with prices increased twice and reduced twice. In 2025, silver prices were revised 13 times—upward on 10 occasions and downward three times, reports UNB.
