BAJUS said the adjustments reflect an increase in the price of tejabi (pure) gold in the domestic market, which necessitated a comprehensive revision of rates.
Under the revised pricing, the per-bhori (11.664 grams) rates now stand as follows: 22-carat at Tk2,30,422; 21-carat at Tk2,19,983; 18-carat at Tk1,88,549; and traditional (sanatan) method gold at Tk1,53,557.
Gold prices in Bangladesh have been adjusted 75 times so far in 2026, raised on 39 occasions and reduced on 36.
Alongside gold, silver prices also increased today. The 22-carat silver rate rose by Tk233 per bhori to Tk5,365.
Other silver rates: 21-carat at Tk5,132, 18-carat at Tk4,432, and traditional method at Tk3,324 per bhori.
