Gold price jumps by Tk5,424 per bhori in Bangladesh

The price of gold in Bangladesh has been increased by Tk5,424 per bhori, with the rate of 22-carat gold set at Tk274,104 per bhori from today (2 March), according to the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS).

In a statement issued in the morning, BAJUS said the new rates were fixed considering the overall market situation following a rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market. The revised prices have come into effect immediately.

Under the new rates, 22-carat gold will cost Tk274,104 per bhori (11.664 grams), while 21-carat gold has been priced at Tk261,682 per bhori.

The price of 18-carat gold has been set at Tk224,299 per bhori, and gold of traditional method at Tk183,533 per bhori.

Buyers will have to pay an additional 5 percent government-fixed VAT and a minimum 6% making charge set by BAJUS on the sale price.

However, the making charge may vary depending on the design and quality of jewellery.

The last adjustment to gold prices was made on the night of 28 February, when BAJUS raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk3,266 per bhori to Tk268,680.

So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 35 times in the country, with rates increased on 23 occasions and reduced 12 times.

Silver prices have also been raised this time. The price of 22-carat silver has been increased by Tk175 per bhori to Tk7,173.

Meanwhile, 21-carat silver has been set at Tk6,882 per bhori, 18-carat silver at Tk5,890 per bhori, and traditional-method silver at Tk4,432 per bhori.
