The price of gold in Bangladesh has been reduced by Tk 5,482 per bhori, with the rate of 22-carat gold now set at Tk 229,373 per bhori, according to the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus).

In a statement issued on Saturday morning, Bajus said the latest adjustment was made in view of the decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market. The new rates came into effect from 10am.

Under the revised pricing structure, the price of 21-carat gold has been cut by Tk 5,249 per bhori to Tk 218,933.

The price of 18-carat gold has been reduced by Tk 4,490 per bhori to Tk 187,674, while gold produced under the traditional method now costs Tk 152,857 per bhori after a reduction of Tk 3,616.

Bajus last adjusted gold prices on June 2, when it reduced the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 3,266 per bhori, setting the rate at Tk 234,855.

So far in 2026, gold prices in the country have been revised 71 times. Of those, prices were increased on 37 occasions and reduced 34 times.

Alongside gold, Bajus also lowered silver prices. The price of 22-carat silver has been cut by Tk 408 per bhori to Tk 5,249.

Similarly, the price of 21-carat silver has been reduced by Tk 408 to Tk 4,957 per bhori, while 18-carat silver now costs Tk 4,257 per bhori after a Tk 350 reduction.

The price of traditional-method silver has been lowered by Tk 233 per bhori to Tk 3,441.

Silver prices have been adjusted 42 times so far this year, with increases recorded on 22 occasions and reductions on the remaining 20.
