The price of the best quality or 22 carat gold (11.664 grams) has been reduced by Tk 630 to Tk 1 lakh 13 thousand 561.

This information was informed in a circular signed by Chairman Masudur Rahman of Price Determination and Price Monitoring Standing Committee of Bangladesh Jewelers Association (BAJUS) on Thursday (April 25).
