Dhaka, Sept. 11 -- The Bangladesh Jeweller's Association (BAJUS) has cut gold prices again, reducing the rate of 22-carat gold by Tk 2,158 per bhori to Tk 2,31,880, including VAT.

The new prices came into effect at 10:00am on Friday, according to a notice issued by the association.

BAJUS said the latest adjustment was made in line with a decline in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market.

Under the revised rates, a bhori (11.664 grams) of 21-carat gold will cost Tk 2,21,441, 18-carat gold Tk 1,90,123 and traditional gold Tk 1,55,306, all including VAT.

The association said the new rates will remain effective until further notice, while making charges will vary depending on the design of the jewellery.
