Gold prices in the country have increased again, setting a new record. The price of each bhori of 22-carat (11.664 grams) gold has been increased by Tk 2,904, bringing the cost of the precious yellow metal to Tk 122,985.
This will mark the highest gold price ever recorded in Bangladesh, effective Monday.
The Bangladesh Jewellers' Association (BAJUS) announced the price hike in a press release on Sunday, attributing the increase to the rising cost of pure gold in the local market.
Previously, on July 15, gold prices had reached a peak of Tk 120,081 per bhori. Following several fluctuations, the current price has now surpassed that previous high.
