The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced a reduction in gold prices across the country. In a notice issued on Thursday morning, the association said the price of 22-carat gold has been lowered by Tk 2,216 per bhori, setting the new rate at Tk 221,966 including VAT. The revised prices took effect from 10 a.m. the same day.

BAJUS explained that the adjustment follows a decrease in the price of pure gold. Under the new pricing, 21-carat gold will cost Tk 211,993 per bhori, 18-carat gold Tk 182,075, and traditional gold Tk 148,774. The association stated that these rates will remain in force until further notice, and that VAT is already included in the retail price, meaning no separate VAT may be charged to customers.

According to BAJUS, this is the 90th price adjustment of the year, with 44 increases, 45 decreases, and one VAT revision so far. In 2025, the association made 93 adjustments, most of which were price increases.
