The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced another increase in gold prices, marking the third consecutive adjustment in recent weeks. Effective from Monday, December 22, 2025, the price of 22-carat gold will rise by BDT 1,050 per bhori (11.664 grams), reaching a record BDT 218,117 — the highest in the country’s history. The new rates were confirmed in a BAJUS statement released Sunday night.

Under the revised pricing, 21-carat gold will sell at BDT 208,202 per bhori, 18-carat at BDT 178,459, and traditional gold at BDT 148,599. The previous adjustment on December 15 had raised prices by BDT 1,470 per bhori. Despite the surge in gold, silver prices remain unchanged, with 22-carat silver priced at BDT 4,572 per bhori.

Analysts attribute the continued rise to global market volatility, higher import costs, and currency depreciation. Jewelers expect demand to remain steady during the wedding season, though consumers may face increased financial pressure if the upward trend persists.
