GoldBod is set to revolutionize the gold industry – Ato Forson

Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson, PhD, praised the passing of the Gold Board Bill.

He believes GoldBod will transform the gold industry in Ghana. It will regulate operations, stabilize the cedi, and maximize revenue from gold exports.

Ghana earns significant foreign exchange from gold. However, the country has not fully benefited from this resource. The environmental costs have been high.

GoldBod aims to change this situation. It will help Ghana utilize the entire gold value chain. This includes extraction, refining, value addition, and marketing both locally and internationally.

The initiative is expected to create jobs and increase revenue. It will ensure that Ghana fully benefits from its natural wealth.

In a social media post, the Minister expressed his excitement about the bill's passage. He called it a transformative moment in Ghana’s economic history.

He stated that this is a great step toward a stronger economy. The future of Ghana’s gold industry looks promising!
