The Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson has said that the government is establishing the Ghana Gold Board (GOLDBOD) to support foreign exchange inflows and gold reserve accumulation for the benefit of our dear country.
To achieve this, he said, the GOLDBOD shall regulate, oversee, monitor and undertake the purchasing, assaying, refining, exporting, selling and other related activities concerning the gold resources of Ghana.
The Finance Minister said this when presenting the 2025 budget statement in Parliament on Tuesday, March 11.
He further said that the government is stabilising the Ghana Cedi and macroeconomy through an urgent economic recovery programme to shore up our foreign reserves. "In addition, develop a deliberate policy to build economic buffers through external reserves to cushion the Ghana Cedi," he said.
