A week after the price hike, the Bangladesh Jewelers Association (BAJWS) has reduced the price of gold by about Tk. 2,000 per Tola. The new gold price will be effective from January 13. However, the price of silver will remain unchanged.
This information was given in a press release of Bajws on Tuesday (January 12). On January 5, the price of gold was increased by Tk. 1,983.
According to the press release, despite the global economy, dollar and oil depreciation, rising and falling prices in the international and domestic gold markets in the face of the second wave of corona, the price of gold has been reduced to cut business stagnation and keep the consumer in mind.
