DHAKA – Jewellers have decided to hike gold prices again, raising it to Tk 137,448 for each bhori (11.66 grammes) with effect from tomorrow.
The previous price of each bhori of 22-carat gold stood at Tk 134,509.
The Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association’s standing committee on pricing and price monitoring took the decision to raise prices in a meeting today, citing an increase in pure gold prices in the local market.
The price of gold in Bangladesh has been rising steadily for more than a year, influenced by hikes in the international market and volatility in domestic supply.
In July last year, the price of gold crossed the Tk 1 lakh mark for the first time in Bangladesh.
