Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has decided to reduce gold prices in the country's market. The price of 22-carat gold per bhori has been reduced by Tk 3,266 to Tk 2,28,031. The organisation said in a statement on Tuesday (October 13) that the decision was taken due to a fall in the price of Tejabi gold (pure gold) in the local market. The new price came into effect from 10am today.
According to the new prices, the price of 21-carat gold per bhori has been reduced by Tk 3,149 to Tk 2,17,767, and the price of 18-carat gold has been reduced by Tk 2,682 to Tk 1,87,032.
