Who cares whether it is Sammy Gyamfi or just some kind of "official" at Goldbod. If you had a brain you would know that what the official said is based on a discussion that has been had internally. The bottom line is if Russia/Ukraine war which the likes of Sammy Gyamfi claimed had no impact on the economy of Ghana then by simple logic what is happening in Iran, US and Israel should have no impact on Ghana and goldbod.

read full comment

Middle Eastern countries — especially the United Arab Emirates — are among the largest buyers of Ghana’s gold, with Dubai serving as a global refining and trading hub for much of Africa’s gold. Because of this heavy dependence, instability in the region — including tensions involving Iran — can disrupt shipping routes, refining operations, and financial settlements linked to Ghana’s gold trade.
So if conflict affects that region, temporary drops in gold exports and increases in oil prices are economically predictable, not surprising. Higher oil prices also raise shipping and production costs globally, which indirectly pressures Ghana’s economy.
By publicly explaining these global risks, Sammy Gyamfi is arguably showing respect and transparency to Ghanaians in three key ways:
Transparency: Informing citizens about external shocks affecting the economy.
Economic literacy: Helping people understand how global conflicts influence local markets.
Expectation management: Preparing the public for possible changes in exports, fuel prices, or currency pressures.
In short, the update signals that Ghana’s economy is connected to global geopolitics, and acknowledging that openly treats citizens as stakeholders who deserve honest economic communication.
CENTRAL BANKS OF MANY COUNTRIES ARE INCREASING THEIR GOLD RESERVES RATHER THAN SELLING IT. MANY NATIONS ARE REPATRIATING THEIR GOLD FROM ABROAD. ARE OUR LEARDERS TAKING NOTE OF THIS? 4 weeks ago

Central Bank buying of gold is the part of the reason for the sharp rise in the price of gold. The other glaring reason is of course the rapidly deteriorating Iran-USA/Israel war which has virtually become a full Middle Eastern Regional war. Countries that are rapidly increasing their gold reserves are doing so as a kind of insurance because of the worsening geopolitical situation in the world. First it was the Ukraine-Russia war but within the last fortnight a far bigger threat has emerged following the attack on Iran. The collapse of major economies with no significant alternative sources of energy is inevitable in the light of the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz by the Iranians. The expected rapid collapse of the Iranian regime by their enemies has not materialised and instead the Iranians have been dealing significant retaliatory blows to their foes even as they themselves continue to absorb substantial damage.
If the reports circulating that seem to suggest that Iran still has thousands of missiles available including some shockingly very sophisticated ones are true, then this does not bode well for regional foes and their allies who expected a “cake walk” when they attacked Iran.
IT IS NOW A REGIONAL WAR WITH AN EVER-GROWING DANGER OF EVOLVING INTO SOMETHING EVEN MORE DANGEROUS AND SINISTER. There are some military commentators who see this conflict yet another proof that a THIRD WORLD WAR HAS ALREADY COMMENCED AND IS ONLY JUST AT A "LOW INTENSITY PHASE" WHICH WILL INEVITABLE BECOME VERY HIGH INTENSITY, GLOBAL AND EVENTUALLY INVOLVE GREAT MILITARY POWERS. This threshold will be crossed once nuclear weapons (even tactical ones) are used. If this happens all bets are off and we will likely very quickly see retaliation with nuclear weapons.
* This is why wise leaders and nations are busy accumulating gold with many repatriating their gold reserves from bullion vaults based in foreign countries. IF THIS CONFLICT GOES GLOBAL NATIONS WITH GOLD RESERVES AND EVEN FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVES BASED IN OTHER NATIONS CAN KISS GOODBYE TO THEM.
MAJOR CONFLICT WILL ALMOST LIKELY RESULT IN CAPITAL CONTROLS IN NATIONS CAUGHT UP IN MAJOR OR EXISTENTIAL CONFLICTS (You can find out what that means) and POSSIBLE CONFISCATION OF FOREIGN ASSETS AS HOST NATIONS REPRIORITIZE THEIR OWN SURVIVAL OVER THE INTERESTS OF OTHER NATIONS.

Meanwhile, if you read through the article, a Gold board official you claimed to have talked to, answered on anomity. So what is your interest? The government should fail because the war is making it impossible for Ghana's gold to be send to Dubai to be refined isn't it? One thing you people (Npp) should know, the current government of president Mahama and the Ndc, is so matured that, any diabolical sentiments against them will fail.

Sammy Gyamfi, Ablakwa, and theirnilks, please come tell us that the war in Iran cannot affect Ghana’s economy. Yes, missiles dropped in a Ghanaian peacekeeping camp in Lebanon. But that is sooo faaaar away. The missiles did not drop in Makola, Kaasoa, or Kejetia. All the other drones, missiles, and bombs falling mangoes from a storm shake up are falling very very faaaaar away. They are not like Covid19 that started in China and landed in my village here in Ghana. And since COVID19, in your view, did not affect Ghana’s economy, these bombs that will never reach here cannot and should never affect our economy.

So, make no excuses. Fix the economy, roll-out the 24/7 1-3-3 jobs. No excuses.

You, fools die many times before their death. Cheap and stupid propaganda win you the 2024 elections. The same thing will do you in. Good luck.

What a shame! Ghana, whose gold was reportedly used to finance Christopher Colombus' voyages to the Americas, can't still refine its own gold? Are we really serious in this country? Does Botswana send its gold to DUBAI for refining? No wonder Galanseyers from all over the world throng in Ghana; this is because they know we Ghanaians, including the political leaders of the country, don't know the real value of Gold for the development of our country? Why are we sitting on a gold mine with a begging bowl in our hand?

Nearly 70 years of so callef independence and our country is still full of mentally enslaved short sited citizens & leaders alike. Who easily throw insults at each other because of religious & party affiliations.

Why are you not angry with our leaders for not establisjing our own gold refineties, do that we can get maximum benefit from our God given natural resources, same applies to many other of our resources, eg. Cocoa, timber, wgere we sell raw products, before processing to add value and increase our negotiating power. Instead we are at the mercy of global commodity prices.

NPP & NDC are both succesrs in FAILURE yet most of us continue to fight/ insult each other & rewatf their failings with our votes. The devil verses satan.

When will you WAKE UP and see what is blatently in front of you.

We are blessed with a beautiful country and we are squandering it by following our slave/colonial masters system of rule, designed for DIVIDE & RULE. and a retarded rate of development..

China has pulled their people out of poverty and developed in decades and achieved what western states took 400 years to achieve, but without having to enslave & colonise and exploit half of the world.

Stop the insults and the short term thinking & Wake Up.
