Bangladesh Gold Market — BAJUS and Dhaka Sarafa
Bangladesh's gold market is regulated and standardized through the Bangladesh Jewellers' Association (BAJUS), which sets daily benchmark prices published each morning and followed by jewellers nationwide. The gold price in BDT closely tracks international XAU/USD spot, adjusted for the USD/BDT exchange rate.
- 22K dominant: Bangladeshi jewelry is predominantly 22K (916 purity). 24K bars are used for investment but less common in jewellery trade.
- Import duty: Bangladesh applies customs duties on gold imports. As a result, official gold prices include a built-in premium over international spot — the exact duty rate varies and is updated periodically by the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
- Remittance connection: Over 12 million Bangladeshis work abroad (Middle East, Malaysia, Italy, UK). Many return with gold purchases from duty-free zones in Dubai or other Gulf markets — creating a vibrant informal gold import channel.
- Tola weight: Like Pakistan and India, Bangladesh uses tola (11.664 grams) as the standard gold pricing unit. Most jewelers quote tola prices alongside gram prices.
Gold Price in Bangladesh vs International Spot
The live price shown on this page is calculated directly from the international XAU/USD spot price using the live USD/BDT exchange rate — this gives the pure international spot equivalent in BDT. The actual price you pay at a Dhaka jeweler will include import duties and retailer margins, which can add 5–15% above this spot equivalent.
For investment purposes (buying 24K bars), purchasing in Dubai or buying gold via an XAU/USD trading account avoids the duty premium. Check our XAU/USD live price page to track the international benchmark.
USD to BDT Exchange Rate
The gold price in BDT is directly affected by the USD/BDT exchange rate. When the Taka weakens against the dollar, gold prices in BDT rise (even if the international gold price in USD stays the same). This is why tracking both the gold price and the exchange rate matters for Bangladeshi investors.
