- The gold board will be launched in early March and will act as the sole buyer of gold through licensed aggregators and local traders.
- Total gold exports for 2024 stood at $11.64 billion, a 53.2% year-on-year increase, helping nearly double Ghana's trade surplus to $4.98 billion, according to Ghana's central bank.
- Forson stated that the fragmented system has led to widespread gold smuggling and deprived the state of much-needed foreign exchange.
