The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (BAJUS) has announced its 35-member executive committee for the 2025–26 and 2026–27 terms.

The new committee was unveiled on Monday at the association’s head office by Election Board Chairperson Nasrin Fatema Auwal, who expressed optimism that “the current BAJUS committee will be even more successful than the previous one.”

Enamul Haque Khan, owner of Diamond & Divas Jewellery, has been elected as the new President of BAJUS.

Sananda Jewellers Limited owner Ranjit Ghosh has been elected Senior Vice President, while Azad Ahmed, Abhi Roy, and Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury have been elected Vice Presidents. Amit Ghosh will serve as Treasurer.

In his first remarks after being elected President, Enamul said gold traders are often wrongly associated with smugglers. “No genuine gold trader is a smuggler,” he asserted.

He pledged to work toward reducing VAT on gold to 1.5 percent.

In India, the VAT on gold is 2 percent, while in Bangladesh it’s higher. Until the import issues are resolved, we’ll continue pushing for the reinstatement of baggage rules,” Enamul added.

The newly elected BAJUS committee is expected to officially assume office by December 15.
