The Bangladesh Jewellers' Association (BAJUS) has announced yet another increase in gold prices in the domestic market, with a maximum rise of Tk3,149 per vori.
With the new prices, the cost of one vori (about 11.664 grams) of the best quality, 22-carat gold, will stand at Tk200,726 (2 lakh, 726 Taka)—the highest price ever recorded. Previously, gold was selling at Tk197,576 per vori today.
BAJUS announced the new prices in a press release on Monday (October 6). The new rates will be effective from Tuesday (October 7).
The statement noted that the price of acid gold (pure gold) in the local market has risen, leading to the decision to readjust the gold prices.
