Dhaka, Jan. 25 -- Gold prices in Bangladesh have surged once again, with the Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) setting a new all-time high for the precious metal.

According to a notification issued on Sunday night, BAJUS increased the price of 22-carat gold by Tk 1,574 per bhori, fixing it at Tk 257,191 - the highest ever in the country's history.

The new rates will come into effect from Monday.

BAJUS said the decision was taken following a rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market, considering the overall market situation.
