The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced another major reduction in gold prices across the country within 24 hours. According to a notice issued on Saturday morning, the price of 22-carat gold has been reduced by up to Tk 4,374 per bhori, bringing it down to Tk 238,121. The new rates took effect from 10 a.m. on May 16, 2026. On the previous day, May 15, the same quality gold was priced at Tk 242,495 per bhori.

BAJUS stated that the price adjustment was made due to a fall in the international market price of pure (tejaabi) gold. Under the revised structure, 21-carat gold now costs Tk 227,331 per bhori, 18-carat gold Tk 194,847, and traditional gold Tk 158,689. The association also announced a decrease in silver prices, with 22-carat silver now priced at Tk 5,657 per bhori.

The latest price revision reflects BAJUS’s ongoing adjustments to align domestic gold and silver rates with global market trends.
