Saying it may not be effective mean it may be effective. Even if it doesn't work effectively it's still better than not taking such initiatives. Progress is progress regardless of how small it is.

Repent, for the Kingdom of God is near. The Kingdom of God is within your reach. Don't miss this opportunity. The alternative is everlasting punishment. Just accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and let Him be the Lord of your life in deed, not only in words. Jesus loves you.

Conveniently leaving out what the NDC policy alternative is on gold purchase! Very one-sided to achieve what exactly, mischief and also creating disaffection against the Npp. Gutter CSO!

Ah!
Then suggest the structures that will make it effective. You are a Think tank, but you didn't think when we were in that quagmire. Someone thought something irrespective of how insignificant the impact is, you making commentary to suggest it's nothing. Yet no new solution or suggestions to perfect what the person has already thought and implemented

Please offer us alternative solutions. Just saying it is not feasible is not beneficial.

This analysis is incomprehensible, for example to say the program will work if gold prices are high so they could buy more without saying how that works - makes no sense. In general, BoG diversifying its reserves with Gold makes sense. A better way is for the government to simply dig the gold itself and sell some of it to BOG at cost plus a small margin, below market price, and sell the rest at market price to raise revenue and foreign currency.

I disagree with IMANI Africa because there should be enough evidence to prove that NPP backing the cedi with gold cannot work.History has proven that a fixed currency system in which a government’s currency is fixed to the value of gold has been adopted in the past by other countries such as Germany in 1871 and the United States in 1944.The purchasing of gold may be effective with good intentions by the government of Ghana. The obstacles which may arise should be dealt with by introducing a better way to fight corruption.It has worked before and so it can work again.Nothing is impossible in this world.

Very warped analysis from IMANI. The idea of supporting a currency backed by gold is not solely dependent on the absolute price of gold but its stability as a safe haven of investment and hedging. If for nothing at all, the "gold for oil" program success was the absence of ques for fuel unlike happened in countries like Nigeria, a major oil producing nation.
