Why Does the Gold Price in Bangladesh Change?

Gold Price changes impact gold ornaments price in Bangladesh. The gold price in Bangladesh has crossed the Tk 100,000 Taka mark per bhori for the first time in July 2023.

 

Pure gold prices increase every time there is a supply crisis and volatility in the domestic market. Gold prices have risen by double since the end of 2021. A Bajus report says - the annual demand for gold is between 20-40 metric tons in Bangladesh.

 

Due to the global gold market price change, our local gold price also changes. This is the normal scenario for gold prices to rise in Bangladesh irrespective of the country’s inflation.

 

VAT on imported gold is another factor that affects the price. The Bangladeshi government can lower or withdraw the VAT on gold imports. Bangladesh imposes a 5 per cent duty on the type of gold it imports. This would encourage jewellery businessmen to legally purchase more gold from foreign countries, and ultimately, gold prices would not rise.

 

Bangladesh Jewellery Association addressed another big reason: smuggling. According to BAJUS, the price of gold could be lower, but gold smuggling is a big reason for its price hike. A large amount of Gold is smuggled every year to neighbouring countries. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) is trying to stop this smuggling with strict actions. Yet, the gold smuggling has continued.
