The Bangladesh Jewellers Association has cut the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 4,374 per bhori, including VAT, bringing the price down to Tk 2,36,254.

The revised price will come into effect at 10:00 am on Monday, BAJUS said in a notice.

The association said it had reduced the prices following a decline in the price of pure gold in the local market. The prices were revised considering the overall market situation.

Under the new rates, 21-carat gold will cost Tk 2,25,640 per bhori, while 18-carat gold will cost Tk 1,93,739. The price of traditional gold has been set at Tk 1,58,280 per bhori.

One bhori is equivalent to 11.664 grams.

The revised prices will remain in effect at all jewellery shops until further notice, BAJUS said. Labour charges will continue to apply depending on the design of jewellery.

As VAT is included in the selling price of gold and silver jewellery, jewellers cannot charge VAT separately from customers, the association said. Its existing rules on the exchange and purchase of jewellery will also remain in force, excluding applicable VAT, labour charges and stone prices.

The latest cut comes just two days after BAJUS’s previous price reduction. On August 29, the association reduced the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 7,115 per bhori to Tk 2,40,628, including VAT.

At the time, 21-carat gold was priced at Tk 2,29,781 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk 1,97,355 and traditional gold at Tk 1,61,196.

With Monday’s adjustment, gold prices have been revised 109 times in the domestic market this year. Prices were raised 55 times and reduced 53 times, while VAT was adjusted once.

In 2025, gold prices were revised 93 times, including 64 increases and 29 reductions.

BAJUS has also reduced silver prices.

The price of 22-carat silver has been cut by Tk 175 per bhori to Tk 5,132, including VAT. The new price of 21-carat silver is Tk 4,957 per bhori, while 18-carat silver will cost Tk 4,257 and traditional silver Tk 3,208.

Silver prices have been revised 66 times so far this year, with 34 increases and 32 reductions. In 2025, silver prices were revised 13 times, including 10 increases and three reductions.
