The price of gold has reached record high, surging to Tk1.14 lakh per bhori.
The price of one bhori of 22 carat (11.664 grams) gold has been increased by Tk2,916.
Bangladesh Jewelers Association (Bajus) said that this price will be effective from Friday.

Earlier on March 20, the price of gold was slightly reduced. Now, the new record has been created by raising the price again.
Bajus Standing Committee on Pricing and Price Monitoring Committee met on Thursday and decided to increase the prices.

The price of gold has been increased but the price of silver has been kept unchanged.
According to the category, currently the price of 22 carat silver is Tk2,100, 21 carat is Tk2,006, 18 carat is Tk1715 and traditional silver is Tk1,283.
