The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) and the Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX) are in advanced discussions to introduce a regulated gold trading platform, aimed at transforming how gold is traded in Ghana.
The proposed initiative seeks to make Ghana’s most valuable mineral more accessible to both retail and institutional investors, creating new opportunities for wealth creation and diversified investment.
By integrating gold trading into the GCX framework, the platform is expected to:
-
Formalise and modernise gold transactions
-
Enhance transparency and price discovery
-
Improve investor confidence
-
Position Ghana as a leader in structured gold markets across Africa
Regulatory Oversight and Investor Protection
As part of the rollout, GoldBod is engaging with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to ensure full regulatory compliance and establish robust investor protection mechanisms.
The initiative forms part of Ghana’s broader strategy to unlock greater value from its gold sector, not only through production but also via structured investment channels.
If successful, the move could elevate Ghana’s status from a top gold producer to a regional hub for regulated gold trading and investment.
