Jewellers in the country have increased gold prices by Tk 4,082 per bhori.

Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association (BAJUS) came up with the decision on Thursday after the rates rise in the international and local bullion markets.

The revised prices will be effective from Friday, said a press release issued by the association.

According to the new rate, 22-carat (11.664gm) gold will cost Tk 81,298 per bhori.

Under the new rates, the local markets will sell 21-carat gold at Tk 77,566 per bhori and 18-carat gold at Tk 66,485 per bhori.

Meanwhile, the price for traditional method gold has been set at Tk 55,171 per bhori.

BAJUS has urged all jewellery businesses in the country to sell gold at new rates until further notice.
