Gold prices have reached a record high, climbing again just four days after the last increase.
The latest rise has added Tk 2,655 per bhori, taking the cost of 22-carat gold to Tk 181,487 per bhori. One bhori is equivalent to around 11.664 grams.
The new rates take effect across the country today, the Bangladesh Jewellers' Association (Bajus) said in a statement yesterday.
It said that the adjustment followed a rise in the price of pure gold in the local market.
On September 3, gold prices jumped by Tk 3,444 per bhori, which pushed 22-carat gold to Tk 178,832.
At that time, 21-carat was Tk 170,703 and 18-carat Tk 146,313, while gold sold in the traditional way without hallmarking was Tk 121,166 per bhori.
With the latest revision, 21-carat gold now stands at Tk 173,244 per bhori and 18-carat at Tk 148,490, while the traditional rate has risen to Tk 123,024.
