Gold Market in Ghana
Ghana is Africa's second-largest gold producer and one of the world's top ten, producing approximately 130 tonnes annually. The Ashanti goldfields have been mined for centuries, giving Ghana a rich gold heritage. The cedi has experienced significant depreciation, making gold a vital savings vehicle.
Why do people in Ghana buy gold?
Ghanaians increasingly use gold as protection against cedi depreciation and inflation. Ghana's government has promoted a gold-for-oil program to preserve foreign exchange reserves. The Ghana Gold Board (GOLDBOD) oversees domestic gold trade and provides an official purchasing channel for artisanal miners.
