The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has stated that the newly constituted GoldBod is to fully tap into the economic potential of the country's abundant gold resources.

Speaking during the inauguration of the technical committee to draft a legal framework for the establishment of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), on Monday, January 27, 2024, the Finance Minister noted that the board is to ensure that Ghana capitalises on its rich gold reserves to maximize national economic benefits.

With this strategic move, Ghana seeks to unlock greater value from its gold sector and enhance its global standing.

The creation of Ghana GoldBod represents a significant milestone in improving the management and utilization of the country's gold resources.
