Gold prices in the country have increased once again, setting a new record.
The price of each bhori of 22-carat (11.664 grams) gold has been increased by Tk 1,470, bringing the cost of the precious yellow metal to Tk 151,282.
This marks the highest gold price ever recorded in Bangladesh.
The new rates will come into effect on Tuesday.
The Bangladesh Jewellers' Association (BAJUS) announced the price hike in a press release on Monday, attributing the increase to the rising cost of pure gold in the local market.
