The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced another increase in gold prices just one day after the previous hike.
The price has been raised by Tk2,216 per bhori (11.664 grams), pushing the price of 22-carat gold at Tk270,430 per bhori. Yesterday, the price stood at Tk268,214.
BAJUS disclosed the new rates in a statement on Wednesday, saying the revised prices came into effect from 10:00am.

The prices for other categories are:
- 21-carat gold: Tk258,124 per bhori
