Despite Bangladesh not importing a significant quantity of gold, prices are consistently influenced by international fluctuations and domestic market volatility.
With an annual demand ranging from 20 to 40 tonnes, approximately 80 percent of the country's gold demand is fulfilled through smuggling.
In August of last year, the Bangladesh Bank mandated a 100 percent margin requirement on letters of credit for gold, aiming to discourage imports and conserve foreign currency.
