The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced a reduction in gold prices following record highs in the domestic market. In a notice issued on Thursday night, January 1, 2026, the association said the price of 22-carat gold has been lowered by Tk 1,458 per bhori, setting the new rate at Tk 222,724 per bhori. The revised price will take effect from Friday, January 2. According to the BAJUS statement, the adjustment was made due to a decline in the price of pure or 'tejaabi' gold in the local market. The association said the new rate reflects the overall market situation. This marks the third consecutive reduction in gold prices after a period of record highs in Bangladesh. The latest price adjustment indicates a continued correction in the gold market, aligning domestic rates with recent changes in the underlying value of pure gold.
