Ghana’s Gold Board (GoldBod) is working to improve transparency and accountability in the nation’s gold trade, specifically within the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) industry. This initiative involves actively collaborating with licensed gold traders. The engagement aims to formalize operations and reduce illicit activity within the sector. GoldBod believes that partnering with these traders will strengthen oversight and promote responsible gold trading practices. This move is part of a broader effort to ensure the gold trade contributes more effectively to the national economy. The Board anticipates increased compliance and a more regulated market as a result of this collaboration. Further details regarding specific partnership agreements were not immediately available.
