The investment price of the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) gold coins has appreciated, a development attributed to the strengthening of the Ghana cedi against the US dollar.

The Central Bank introduced these gold coins as a strategic measure to discourage the hoarding of US dollars and absorb excess liquidity in the market, ultimately aiming to strengthen the cedi against major foreign currencies.
