The Bangladesh Jewellers' Association (Bajus) on Monday raised the price of gold by Taka 2,216 per bhori, setting the new price of 22-karat gold at Taka 223,074 per bhori, including VAT.

In a notice issued Monday morning, Bajus said the upward revision was made in view of a rise in the price of pure gold in the local market. The new rates took effect from 10 am the same day.

Under the revised rates, a bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-karat gold ornaments will now cost Taka 223,074, including VAT.

The price of 21-karat gold was raised by Taka 2,100 to Taka 213,043 per bhori, while 18-karat gold went up by Taka 1,750 to Taka 182,950. The price of traditional gold ornaments was increased by Taka 1,458 to Taka 149,474 per bhori.

Bajus said the new prices will remain effective at all jewellery outlets until further notice, though making charges will continue to vary according to design.

Since VAT is included in the sale price of gold and silver ornaments, it cannot be charged separately from customers.

The organisation's existing rules on ornament exchange and purchase, excluding specified VAT, making charges and stone value, will remain unchanged.

Bajus had last adjusted gold prices on the morning of July 24, when it cut the rate by Taka 3,324 per bhori, bringing the price of 22-karat gold, including VAT, down to Taka 220,858.

According to Bajus, gold prices have been revised 95 times in the country so far in 2026; increased on 46 occasions, decreased 48 times, and adjusted once over VAT.

Silver prices were also revised upward alongside gold. The price of 22-karat silver ornaments was raised by Taka 59 to Taka 4,666 per bhori, including VAT.

The price of 21-karat silver went up by Taka 175 to Taka 4,549, 18-karat silver rose by Taka 116 to Taka 3,907, and traditional silver ornaments increased by Taka 116 to Taka 2,974 per bhori.
