Bangladesh jewelers just jacked up gold prices again, adding another 1,470 taka per bhori to hit 217,067 taka. The Bangladesh Jewellers' Association pricing committee signed off on this after meeting up, and it comes right after they already bumped prices by over 3,000 taka just a couple of days earlier.
The 22-carat stuff will run you 18,610 taka per gram, while 21-carat sits at 17,765. Traditional gold got priced at 12,680 per gram. Silver stayed put, though, with 22-carat holding at 392 taka per gram.
People buying this stuff also have to cough up an extra 5 percent VAT from the government, plus at least 6 percent for the making charge, which can go higher depending on how fancy the design gets.
