Gold prices in the country have risen once again. The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced on Thursday, 13 November, that the price of gold has increased by BDT 5,248 per vori. Under the new pricing, the value of 22-carat gold stands at BDT 213,791 per vori. The new rates will take effect from Friday, 14 November.
BAJUS stated that this adjustment has been made considering the increase in the local market price of pure gold (tejabi gold).
New Gold Prices:
22-carat: BDT 213,791 per vori
21-carat: BDT 204,032 per vori
18-carat: BDT 174,855 per vori
Traditional method: BDT 145,520 per vori
The notification further mentioned that a 5% government-imposed VAT and the BAJUS-determined minimum 6% labour charge must be added to the sale price of gold. However, labour charges may vary depending on the design and quality of jewellery.
Meanwhile, silver prices remain unchanged. The price of 22-carat silver per vori is BDT 4,246, 21-carat silver is BDT 4,047, 18-carat silver is BDT 3,476, and silver following the traditional method is BDT 2,601 per vori.
