The price of gold in Bangladesh has surged once again.

The price of the best quality gold, 22-carat, has risen by Tk 2,823 per bhori (11.664 grams), bringing the new price to Tk 169,921.

The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has attributed the latest hike to a rise in the price of refined gold in the local market.

The new price will come into effect on Thursday, BAJUS said.
