Gold prices have gone up again in the domestic market, with the price of 22-carat gold, the highest quality, rising by Tk 3,324 per bhori.
The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) said the new rates took effect from 1:45 pm Wednesday. With VAT, a bhori of 22-carat gold will now sell for Tk 2,24,182.
