DHAKA — Gold prices in Bangladesh have risen for the first time in a month.
The Bangladesh Jewellers’ Association, known as BAJUS, raised the price of top-grade 22-carat gold by 1,050 taka per bhori to set a new price of 172,650 taka, effective Wednesday. The previous price was 171,600 taka per bhori.
In a notice issued Tuesday, BAJUS said the new price was set after considering changes in the local price of pure gold and the overall market situation.
