Gold prices in Bangladesh have witnessed another sharp spike as the Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association (BAJUS) announced an increase of BDT 3,266 per bhori for 22-carat gold, effective immediately from Tuesday morning.
According to a formal statement from BAJUS, the price of the high-quality 22-carat gold has now been set at BDT 244,711 per bhori (11.664 grams).
The association attributed this latest surge to a significant rise in the price of pure gold (locally known as tejabi gold) within the domestic market, necessitating an immediate price adjustment.
Under the newly revised rates, 21-carat gold is now priced at BDT 233,572 per bhori, while 18-carat gold will cost consumers BDT 200,213. Gold produced through traditional methods has also seen an increase, with the price fixed at BDT 163,063 per bhori.
This hike follows a previous increase on March 28, when BAJUS raised the 22-carat rate by BDT 4,433 to reach BDT 241,445.
The year 2026 has been marked by extreme volatility in the precious metals market; so far, gold prices have been adjusted 50 times—increasing on 29 occasions and decreasing 21 times.
The price of silver has also climbed alongside gold. The rate for 22-carat silver rose by BDT 350, bringing it to BDT 5,715 per bhori.
Other silver grades were adjusted accordingly: 21-carat at BDT 5,424, 18-carat at BDT 4,666, and traditional silver at BDT 3,499 per bhori. To date in 2026, silver prices have undergone 30 revisions, consisting of 17 increases and 13 decreases.
