Bawumia was brainchild behind Domestic Gold Purchase Programme – Samuel Jinapor
He explained that while the country had purchased gold from abroad when it sought to increase its reserves in 1960, the new programme allowed the Bank of Ghana to purchase gold locally from licensed aggregators and mining companies, paying them the Ghana cedi equivalent of the prevailing market price.
