Gold prices surge again in Bangladesh

Gold prices in Bangladesh rose sharply on Tuesday with the price of 22-carat gold increasing by Tk 3,266 per bhori, according to the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS).

In a statement issued in the morning, BAJUS said the new price has been set at Tk 244,711 per bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold, effective immediately.

The association attributed the latest hike to a rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market, prompting an adjustment in overall pricing.

Under the revised rates, 21-carat gold will cost Tk 233,572 per bhori, while 18-carat gold has been priced at Tk 200,213 per bhori. The price of gold produced through traditional methods has been set at Tk 163,063 per bhori.

Previously, on March 28, BAJUS had increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 4,433 per bhori, setting it at Tk 241,445. So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 50 times in the country raised on 29 occasions and reduced 21 times.

Alongside gold, silver prices have also been increased. The price of 22-carat silver has gone up by Tk 350 per bhori to Tk 5,715. The new rates for silver stand at Tk 5,424 per bhori for 21-carat Tk 4,666 for 18-carat and Tk 3,499 for traditional silver.
In 2026, silver prices have been revised 30 times so far, with 17 increases and 13 decreases.
