Gold price drops by Tk6,590 per bhori in two phases

Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has reduced the price of 22-carat gold by a total of Tk6,590 per bhori in two phases, bringing the new price down to Tk226,340 per bhori.

BAJUS cut the price of 22-carat gold by Tk2,216 per bhori this morning (20 June), following a previous reduction of Tk4,374 announced yesterday.

According to the revised rates, a bhori of 21-carat gold is now selling at Tk216,192, while 18-carat gold is priced at Tk185,691 per bhori. The price of traditional-method gold has been fixed at Tk151,690 per bhori.

BAJUS said the new prices will remain effective at all jewellery outlets until further notice. However, charges will be added depending on the design of the ornaments.

The association also said customers will not be charged VAT separately, as the applicable VAT has already been included in the sale price of gold ornaments.

Existing BAJUS rules regarding the exchange and purchase of ornaments, excluding specific VAT, making charges and the value of stones, will remain unchanged. A decision regarding VAT on silver ornaments will be announced soon.

So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 78 times in the local market, with prices increasing 39 times, decreasing 38 times and VAT being adjusted once.

Meanwhile, silver prices remain unchanged.

A bhori of 22-carat silver is currently selling at Tk5,249, while 21-carat silver costs Tk5,016 per bhori, 18-carat silver Tk4,257 per bhori, and traditional-method silver Tk3,208 per bhori.
