The Bangladesh Jeweller’s Association (BAJUS) has slashed gold prices once more, lowering the cost of 22-carat gold by BDT 2,158 per bhori to reach BDT 2,31,880, inclusive of value-added tax.

The updated pricing structure took effect starting at 10 am on Friday, as outlined in an official notification released by the organization.

BAJUS explained that this recent price modification was implemented in response to a downward trend in pure gold, or tejabi gold, values within the domestic bullion market.

Following the revised tariff, a bhori equivalent to 11.664 grams of 21-carat gold will be priced at BDT 2,21,441, 18-carat gold at BDT 1,90,123, and traditional category gold at BDT 1,55,306, all figures inclusive of VAT.

The association noted that the new rates will stay in force until subsequent notice is issued, adding that crafting fees will fluctuate based on the specific artistry and design of each piece.

Because VAT is already incorporated into the retail prices of gold and silver ornaments, merchants are strictly prohibited from levying it separately from buyers.

Established guidelines governing the exchange and acquisition of jewelry items will persist without alteration, aside from standard applicable VAT, manufacturing charges, and stone expenses.

BAJUS previously adjusted bullion prices on September 9, trimming the rate by BDT 1,108 per bhori and positioning 22-carat gold at BDT 2,34,038.

Over the course of the year thus far, precious metal rates have undergone 114 separate revisions across the domestic market, comprising 56 upward adjustments, 57 reductions, and one single modification specifically for VAT.

Silver values experienced a parallel reduction, with 22-carat silver dropping by BDT 116 per bhori to settle at BDT 5,016, inclusive of VAT.

The updated rate for 21-carat silver was fixed at BDT 4,782, 18-carat silver at BDT 4,082, and traditional silver at BDT 3,091 per bhori.

Silver prices have faced 69 adjustments throughout the current year—divided into 35 hikes and 34 cuts—significantly outpacing the 13 total adjustments recorded in 2025, which saw prices increased on 10 occasions and reduced merely three times.
