The price revision was announced on Thursday, November 5, 2026, by the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) following a meeting of its Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring, chaired by Dr. Dewan Aminul Islam Shaheen. The new rates took effect at 10:00 AM on Thursday. BAJUS attributed the sharp increase to the rising price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local bullion market.
