Gold Prices Drop Again in Bangladesh Market
The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced another reduction in the price of gold in the local market. This time, the price of 22-carat gold per tola (11.664 grams) has been lowered by Tk 5,482 to Tk 2,41,445.
The new rates, effective from 10:00 a.m. today (Wednesday, 25 March), were announced in a press release by BAJUS. The association cited a decline in the local market price of pure (tejabi) gold as the reason for the adjustment.
According to the new prices, 22-carat gold will now cost Tk 2,41,445 per tola, 21-carat gold Tk 2,30,481 per tola, 18-carat gold Tk 1,97,530 per tola, and traditional (sonaton) gold Tk 1,60,905 per tola.
Previously, on the afternoon of 19 March, BAJUS had reduced the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 7,698, setting it at Tk 2,46,927 per tola.
This marks yet another significant drop in gold prices in the domestic market within a short period.
