Скачать или смотреть BANK OF GHANA UPDATE: Sammy Gyamfi’s GOLDBOD Is Making Money For Ghana From Global Gold Trade

Ghana’s gold industry is at a turning point. In 2025, the government reports $5.2 billion in gold export revenue, a 75% jump from 2024. At the center of this transformation is GOLDBOD (Gold Board of Ghana), created under President John Dramani Mahama and led by Sammy Gyamfi. Once dismissed as another government bureaucracy, GOLDBOD has replaced the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), taken over small-scale mining licensing from the Minerals Commission, and brought discipline to a sector long plagued by galamsey and gold smuggling.

This episode explores how Ghana restructured its gold governance, how reforms gave small-scale miners more legitimacy, and why, for the first time, small-scale mining gold exports have surpassed large-scale mining. It also looks at global forces—COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Gaza conflict, BRICS de-dollarization, and Trump’s tariffs—that pushed gold prices to record highs ($3,600–$3,700 per ounce).

From the history of the Gold Coast to today’s debates on taxation, revenue mobilization, and institutional reforms, this is a deep dive into how Ghana is navigating global uncertainty with its most valuable resource.
