Small-Scale Gold Sector Shines, Strengthens Ghana’s Economy with $10 Billion in Forex
The Ghana Gold Board announced that it has exceeded its 2025 benchmark for small‑scale gold shipments, moving beyond the planned 100 tonnes and bringing in in excess of $10 billion in foreign exchange for Ghana, a development that underlines the expanding importance of artisanal mining to the national economy and reflects a stronger performance than anticipated. CEO Sammy Gyamfi said the milestone was reached recently and expressed satisfaction with the sector’s output, noting that the inflows are expected to bolster the country’s foreign reserves, aid domestic industries, and enhance overall economic steadiness. Board representatives also reiterated their focus on helping small‑scale miners gain formal status, improve access to financial resources, and adopt environmentally sound methods to ensure long‑term, responsible growth within the industry.
