The Bangladesh gold market

Bangladesh's standard retail gold unit is the bhori (1 bhori = 11.664 g, identical to the tola). Prices are set by the Bangladesh Jewellers' Samity (BAJUS). Imports face a tariff regime that pushes retail rates well above international spot, plus jewellery making charges of 5–12%.

How Bangladesh gold prices are calculated on this page

Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The BDT/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2003 year-end snapshot.

Conversion. Every BDT figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × BDT/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all October 2003 prices on this page.

Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417).

What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in Bangladesh, add the country-specific levies described in the “Bangladeshgold market” section above.

FAQ — Bangladesh gold price in October 2003

What was the gold price in Bangladesh in October 2003?

Historical BDT gold price archive for Bangladesh in October 2003.

What was the 24K gold rate per tola in Bangladesh in October 2003?

Tola-based gold rate for Bangladesh in October 2003 requires both XAU/USD and BDT/USD data which is unavailable for this period.

What was the 22K gold rate per bhori in Bangladesh in October 2003?

Retail rate calculation requires international XAU/USD spot and BDT/USD FX, both of which are missing for this period.

How was the local currency price calculated?

BDT prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for October 2003 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2003-end BDT/USD exchange rate from exchangerate-api.com. We use year-end rates as a single reference point for the entire month — for most stable currencies the within-year FX drift is small, but during currency crises (PKR 2022–23, TRY 2022, ARS 2024 etc.) the actual mid-month rate may differ.

Why does the retail price in shops differ from this number?

The ৳ figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to BDT at the 2003-end exchange rate. Bangladesh's retail jewellers add (1) import duties and sales tax (varies by SKU and karat), (2) dealer making charges (typically 3–12% of metal value), and (3) a small premium for purity certification on bars. Always verify the exact day's retail rate with a reputable local dealer before transacting.
