THE GoldBod Technical Committee, led by Acting Managing Director of the Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), Sammy Gyamfi Esq., has secured strong backing from industry stakeholders following a successful engagement in Tarkwa.
The meeting, held yesterday, brought together key players in Ghana’s gold sector, including small-scale miners, gold dealers, bullion traders and jewelers from the Western Region.
Participants were sensitized on the objectives and functions of the soon-to-be-established GoldBod and the need for full stakeholder cooperation.
The discussions were highly interactive, with unanimous support for the vision of President John Dramani Mahama to establish GoldBod – hailed by many as the long-awaited game-changer for Ghana’s gold industry.
GoldBod is expected to restructure the gold trading sector, optimizing national benefits through foreign exchange mobilization and gold reserve accumulation. This initiative is projected to strengthen the Ghanaian cedi and boost economic growth.
The Technical Committee expressed gratitude to key industry groups, including the Ghana National Association of Small-Scale Miners, the Concerned Small-Scale Miners Association, the Chamber of Bullion Traders, the Gold Dealers Association and the Jewellers Association, for their patriotism and invaluable contributions.
With strong industry backing, GoldBod is set to transform Ghana’s gold trade, positioning the country as a major player in global gold reserves and economic stability.
