Gold price hits Tk 1.68 lakh per bhori
  Date : 19-07-2025

Gold prices in Bangladesh have surged to an all-time high yet again, with the price of a 22-carat bhori (11.664 grams) of gold reaching Tk 1,67,833—a record in the country’s gold market.

The price was raised by Tk 2,624 per bhori, according to a statement from the Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association (BAJUS) on Saturday.

The new prices will come into effect on Sunday, April 20.

This hike comes just three days after the last increase on April 17, when the price rose by Tk 3,033, taking it to Tk 1,65,209 per bhori. The latest revision breaks that record, marking the highest price for gold in Bangladesh`s history.

The rise in domestic prices follows an increase in the price of acid gold (pure gold) in the local market, BAJUS said. The decision was made during a meeting of the Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring, chaired by Masudur Rahman, who also signed off on the official announcement.

Revised gold prices (per bhori):

22-carat: Tk 1,67,833 (up Tk 2,624)

21-carat: Tk 1,60,205 (up Tk 2,508)

18-carat: Tk 1,37,309 (up Tk 2,135)

Traditional gold: Tk 1,13,491 (up Tk 1,832)

Despite the surge in gold prices, the price of silver remains unchanged.

Silver prices (per bhori):

22-carat: Tk 2,578

21-carat: Tk 2,449

18-carat: Tk 2,111

Traditional silver: Tk 1,586

The continuous rise in gold prices reflects both global trends and local market dynamics, with investors increasingly turning to the precious metal as a hedge against economic uncertainty.
