Gold prices in Bangladesh have climbed again within 24 hours, with the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announcing a fresh hike on Monday that has pushed prices to a new all-time high. In a notification issued late night, BAJUS said the price of 22-carat gold has been increased by Tk5,249 per bhori, fixing the new rate at Tk262,440, the highest ever in the country’s history. The jewellers’ body said the decision was taken following an increase in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market. The revised prices will come into effect from Tuesday. Under the new rates, 21-carat gold will sell at Tk250,484 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk214,734 per bhori, while gold made under the traditional method has been priced at Tk176,593 per bhori.
