The repeated price increases for Gold and Silver in Bangladesh, as announced by Bangladesh Jewellers Association, directly impact consumer purchasing power for jewellery and investment decisions. This trend reflects global market movements, potentially leading to market stagnation due to higher expenses for buyers.

Jewellery Retail

The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bangladesh Jewellers Association) has repeatedly increased the prices of Gold and Silver in the domestic market of Bangladesh throughout early 2026. These adjustments are attributed to rising international prices of pure Gold and Silver. For Gold, prices have been adjusted 36 times, with 24 increases and 12 reductions. For Silver, there have been 21 adjustments, with 14 increases and 7 reductions. The new rates include a mandatory 5% government VAT and a minimum 6% making charge. These price hikes are affecting consumers planning wedding purchases and investors viewing Gold as a safe haven asset, potentially causing market stagnation.
