Bangladesh Jewelers Association (BAJUS) said that the new price will be effective from 4:50 PM today, Wednesday (April 24).
Bajus Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring Committee meeting decided to reduce prices again. Later this information was informed in a circular signed by the chairman of the committee, Masudur Rahman.
This price has been reduced in view of the decrease in the price of acid gold (ripe gold) in the market. Earlier on Tuesday, the price of a 22 carat gold bar was reduced by 3 thousand 138 taka to 1 lakh 16 thousand 290 taka from that day. This time, by reducing the price, in two days, the price has decreased by 5 thousand 237 taka.
According to Bajus notification, the price of acid gold has decreased in the local market. Therefore, considering the overall situation, Bangladesh Jewelery Association has fixed the new price of gold, which will be effective from 4:50 PM on Wednesday.
According to the new price, the price of a 22 carat gold bar has been reduced by Tk 2 thousand 99 to Tk 1 lakh 14 thousand 191. The price of a 21 carat gold bar has been reduced from Tk 1,995 to Tk 1,900.

However, buyers have to pay more than this to buy gold jewellery. Because gold jewelery is sold by adding 5 percent VAT on the price set by Bajus. Along with that, the minimum wage per worker is 3 thousand 499 taka. As a result, buyers will have to pay Tk 1 lakh 23 thousand 400 to buy a 22 carat gold jewelery from tomorrow Thursday.
