The Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), Sammy Gyamfi, has stated that while gold smuggling cannot be entirely eliminated, the right policies and systems can significantly reduce it. "No one can totally eliminate smuggling.

It is like any other crime, you can't eliminate crime.

But with the right systems and policies, you can mitigate it and reduce it to the barest minimum.

That is what the Gold Board will do," he said.
