Gold prices have risen again, with the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) increasing the price of 22-carat gold jewellery by Tk 1,108 per bhori (11.664 grams).
BAJUS announced the revised prices on Tuesday, with the new rates coming into effect from 10am.
Under the new rates, the price of one bhori of 22-carat gold jewellery, including VAT, has been set at Tk 235,146, up from Tk 234,038.
BAJUS said the latest price hike was driven by an increase in the price of locally sourced Tejabi gold.
The association had last raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 4,374 on August 8, just three days before the latest adjustment.
The price of 21-carat gold jewellery has been increased by Tk 1,049 to Tk 224,590 per bhori, while 18-carat gold has become Tk 933 costlier at Tk 192,864 per bhori.
Meanwhile, the price of sanatani gold jewellery has been raised by Tk 700 to Tk 157,522 per bhori.
Alongside gold, BAJUS has also raised silver jewellery prices.
The price of 22-carat silver has been increased by Tk 175 to Tk 5,074 per bhori, while 21-carat silver has risen by the same amount to Tk 4,841.
The price of 18-carat silver has also gone up by Tk 175 to Tk 4,199 per bhori, while silver jewellery under the traditional system has increased by Tk 116 to Tk 3,159 per bhori.
