The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) announced the revised prices in a statement on Friday. The new rates came into effect at 10:00 am the same day.
The statement said the price of acid gold (pure gold) in the local market has decreased, prompting a revision of overall gold prices based on the current situation.

In addition, 21-carat gold is priced at Tk 231,472 per bhori, 18-carat gold at Tk 198,405 per bhori, and traditional gold at Tk 161,605 per bhori.
