The price of gold in Bangladesh has surged once again, reaching an all-time high.

The Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association has announced a Tk 2,099 increase per bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold, setting the new price at Tk 1,44,890.

The new rate will take effect from Sunday, marking the highest gold price in the country’s history, according to the Bangladesh Jewelers’ Association (BAJUS).

Gold prices were previously raised on January 16, 23, and 30. Now, after just a three-day gap, the price has been increased again.

The BAJUS Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring made the decision in a meeting on Saturday, as confirmed in a notification signed by committee chairman Masudur Rahman.

With this latest hike, the price of one bhori (11.664 grams) of 22-carat gold has risen by Tk 2,099 to Tk 1,44,890—the highest in the country’s history.
