The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) and the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC) have generated over $8 billion in foreign exchange from small-scale gold exports between January and October 15, 2025.
According to the state agency, 81,719.23 kilograms of gold valued at $8.06 billion were exported during the period, significantly surpassing the $4.61 billion earned from gold exports in 2024.
The 2024 gold exports figure was exceeded in the first half of 2025, with gold exports earning over $5 billion and surpassing the total export revenue for the whole of 2024.
The Ghana Gold Board attributed its success in gold export to aggressive reforms, strict regulatory oversight, and tightening control over the gold supply chain to prevent smuggling and ensure compliance.
The significant revenue stream is expected to boost Ghana’s foreign reserves and support the country’s economic recovery efforts.
