Ghana's Gold Rush: $4 Billion in Exports Fuel Economic Growth

Ghana's Gold Exports Soar: 4 Billion USD Boost to Economy Ghana's economy received a significant boost in the first five months of 2025, with gold exports reaching a staggering 4 billion USD. This was announced by Sammy Gyamfi in a recent address to the Minerals Commission. The announcement highlights the success of the artisanal and small-scale mining sector in contributing to national economic growth. "From February 2025 to May 2025, the PMMC Gold Board alone has purchased and exported gold from the artisanal small-scale mining sector to the tune of 4 billion United States dollars," Gyamfi stated. This represents a substantial increase compared to previous years, demonstrating the potential of the gold mining industry in Ghana. The government's prudent monetary and fiscal policies are credited with contributing to this success. The increased foreign reserve accumulation is a testament to the positive economic impact of the gold boom. This significant achievement underscores Ghana's potential for economic growth and highlights the importance of the artisanal small-scale mining sector in the country's overall economic development.
