The price of gold has increased once more in the Bangladeshi market, reaching another unprecedented high and impacting consumers nationwide. This latest adjustment marks a continued upward trend in bullion costs.
The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced the new prices in a press release on Wednesday, April 16th, 2025. The decision, according to the statement, was made to adjust prices due to the increase in the cost of pure gold (Tejabi gold) in the local market.

- One bhori (11.664 grams) of the highest quality 22-carat gold will now cost BDT 1,65,209. This represents an increase of BDT 3,033 per bhori from the most recent previous price (BDT 1,62,176).
