Gold prices hit record high in local market

Gold prices in Bangladesh climbed to an all-time high on Sunday, with the price of 22-carat gold rising to Tk 218,117 per bhori following a fresh hike announced by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS).

BAJUS raised the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 1,050 per bhori, setting the new rate at Tk 218,117, which will come into effect from Monday morning, reports UNB.

This marks the highest gold price ever recorded in the country.

According to BAJUS, the latest adjustment was made considering the overall market situation, particularly the rise in the price of tejabi (pure) gold in the local market.
