Gold prices have been increased in the domestic market. The price of the highest quality—or 22-carat—gold has been raised by BDT 1,691 per bhori (11.664 grams). Including VAT, the price of one bhori of top-grade gold is now set at BDT 2,34,621.
The price hike comes in response to an increase in the price of pure (tejabi) gold in the local market. The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced that the new rates came into effect at 10:00 AM on Saturday (September 19).
The decision was finalized during a meeting of the BAJUS Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring on Saturday. The announcement was later issued in a press release signed by the committee's chairman, Dr. Dewan Aminul Islam Shaheen.
The price of 21-carat gold has been increased by BDT 1,575 per bhori, bringing it to BDT 2,24,065. Meanwhile, 18-carat gold saw an increase of BDT 1,301 per bhori, setting the new price at BDT 1,92,397.
For traditional method gold, the price has risen by BDT 1,108 per bhori to reach BDT 1,57,172.
Earlier on September 12, gold prices were also adjusted upward. At that time, including VAT, 22-carat gold was increased by BDT 1,050 to BDT 2,32,930 per bhori; 21-carat gold was raised by BDT 1,049 to BDT 2,22,490 per bhori; 18-carat gold was increased by BDT 933 to BDT 1,91,056 per bhori; and traditional gold was raised by BDT 758 to BDT 1,56,064 per bhori.
Alongside gold, silver prices have also been revised upward. Including VAT, 22-carat silver rose by BDT 117 to BDT 5,132 per bhori; 21-carat silver went up by BDT 175 to BDT 4,957 per bhori; 18-carat silver increased by BDT 175 to BDT 4,257 per bhori; and traditional method silver was raised by BDT 116 to BDT 3,207 per bhori.
With this latest revision, gold prices in the local market have been adjusted 116 times so far this year—with prices increasing 58 times and decreasing 58 times. In 2025, gold prices were adjusted a total of 93 times in the domestic market, featuring 64 price hikes and 29 reductions.
