Renowned financial analyst Joe Jackson has thrown his weight behind Ghana's gold-backed strategy, hailing the government's continued use of gold as a vital tool in stabilizing the cedi against the US dollar.

Speaking on TV3's KeyPoints show on May 17, Jackson emphasized that global economic trends and Ghana's strategic moves have aligned favourably to boost the country's economic resilience. "Globally, investors have moved their investments into gold because they are looking for somewhere safe.

Gold has for the past eight years outperformed the dollar.

I have always said that gold is one way we are going to save the country," Jackson said.
