Gold Purchase Programme: BoG to buy gold in cedis not dollars from mining companies

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) under its ambitious gold purchase programme, will buy gold produced by mining companies in the local currency (cedi) and not in dollars.

Gold, per information gathered from the meeting, will be bought from mining companies at the prevailing world market prices but in cedis instead of dollars.

The decision to buy gold output of mining firms in cedis was reached during a meeting on Tuesday, August 9, between the Economic Management Team headed by Dr Bawumia, the Bank of Ghana, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, the Minerals Commission, PMMC and the Ghana Chamber of Mines.

Further details indicate that, the Central Bank will commence the purchase of gold in cedis starting next month, September 1, 2022.

The move, forms part of government’s roadmap for the implementation of the Central Bank’s Gold Purchase Programme across the industry.

The gold purchase programme, when effectively implemented, will represent a significant and sustainable addition to Ghana’s foreign exchange reserves over time and strengthen the country’s balance of payments.
