Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has once again cut the price of gold ornaments in the domestic market, reducing the price of the best quality 22-carat gold by Tk4,374 per bhori.
According to the new pricing, effective from 10am today (31 August), the price of 22-carat gold ornaments including VAT now stands at Tk2,36,254 per bhori.
Bajus said the decision to lower the price came in response to a fall in the price of tejabi (pure) gold in the local market.

Similarly, the price of 18-carat gold ornaments has been cut by Tk3,616 to Tk1,93,739 per bhori, while traditional gold ornaments now cost Tk1,58,280 per bhori, down Tk2,916.
This marks the second price cut in just two days.
On 29 August, Bajus slashed the price of 22-carat gold by Tk7,115 per bhori. With today’s cut, the price of the finest quality gold has come down by a total of Tk11,489 in just two rounds.
