DHAKA : Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has reduced the price of 22-carat gold by a total of Tk 6,590 per bhori in two phases, bringing the new price down to Tk 226,340 per bhori.

BAJUS cut the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 2,216 per bhori on Saturday morning, following a previous reduction of Tk 4,374 announced on Friday.

According to the revised rates, a bhori of 21-carat gold is now selling at Tk 216,192, while 18-carat gold is priced at Tk 185,691 per bhori. The price of traditional-method gold has been fixed at Tk 151,690 per bhori.

BAJUS said the new prices will remain effective at all jewellery outlets until further notice. However, making 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 Tk 5,249, while 21-carat silver costs Tk 5,016 per bhori, 18-carat silver Tk 4,257 per bhori, and traditional-method silver Tk 3,208 per bhori.
