The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) on Monday reduced the price of 22-carat gold by BDT 3,266 per bhori (11.664 grams), following a decline in the local market price of pure gold.

In a statement issued on Monday, BAJUS said the new prices, inclusive of VAT, took effect from 12:15 pm after reviewing the overall market situation and the fall in the price of tejabi gold (pure gold) in the domestic market.

Under the revised rates, the price of 22-carat gold has been fixed at BDT 225,290 per bhori, including VAT.

The price of 21-carat gold has been set at BDT 215,142 per bhori while 18-carat gold will cost BDT 184,758 per bhori.

Gold produced under the traditional method has been priced at BDT 150,932 per bhori.

BAJUS said the new rates will remain effective at all jewellery outlets across the country until further notice.

However, making charges will vary depending on the design of the jewellery.

The association also noted that customers cannot be charged VAT separately, as VAT is already included in the retail price of gold and silver ornaments.

Existing BAJUS rules regarding jewellery exchange and buyback, excluding specified VAT, making charges and the value of gemstones, will remain unchanged.

The latest revision comes just three days after BAJUS raised gold prices on July 3, increasing the price of 22-carat gold by BDT 4,374 per bhori to BDT 228,556, including VAT.

With the latest adjustment, gold prices have been revised 87 times in Bangladesh so far in 2026.

Of those, prices were increased on 43 occasions, reduced 43 times while one adjustment was made to reflect changes in VAT.

Despite the reduction in gold prices, silver prices remain unchanged. Currently, 22-carat silver is selling at BDT 4,899 per bhori, while 21-carat silver is priced at BDT 4,666 per bhori.

The price of 18-carat silver stands at BDT 4,024 per bhori, and traditionally manufactured silver is selling at BDT 3,033 per bhori.
