GoldBod demonstrates how Africa can retain more value from its resources – Sammy Gyamfi

“Through GoldBod, Ghana is building a well-organised, transparent, and value-focused gold ecosystem; one that strengthens local participation, improves accountability, supports responsible trading, promotes value addition and positions gold not simply as a commodity we extract, but as a platform for national economic stability, industrialisation, job creation and national development.”The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has presented the Ghana Gold Board as a practical example of how African countries can maximise the value of their natural resources through deliberate state-led reforms and strategic planning.“Since its inception, GoldBod has helped address gold smuggling, formalised the gold trade supply chain, strengthened foreign exchange generation and created stronger opportunities for investment in gold production, responsible sourcing and value addition in Ghana.”
