GoldBod begins licensing of service providers effective April 23

The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has announced new licensing for gold trading. This will start on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.

Ghanaians aged 18 and above can apply for a license. Fully owned Ghanaian companies can also apply. Applications can be made online at goldbod.gov.gh or in person at the Accra office.

The available licenses include:
- Aggregator license
- Self-financing Aggregator license
- Buyer license (Tier 2)
- Buyer license (Tier 1)

Prince Kwame Minkah, Media Relations Officer, stated that other licenses will be available in July 2025. These include Refining, Smelting, Fabrication, Storage, Transportation, and Importation Licenses.

All information about GoldBod's policies is on their website. Applicants must read and accept the Terms and Conditions before applying.

GoldBod reminded foreigners to exit the local gold trading market by April 30, 2025. Violating this directive is an offense under the Ghana GoldBod Act of 2025 (ACT 1140). Foreigners may still apply to off-take gold from GoldBod.
