BOG has always bought gold right from Nkrumah so it has never been the initiative of that Sisifia offbeat dancing deceptive liar of a PhD holder. Such nonsense.

Kofi, since your Nkrumah time to the year 2022 we had only 8 tonnes. Yes we have been buying gold since Nkrumah. So 8 tonnes in 65 years against 22 tonnes in just two years and you are not giving credit to the man who insisted BOG ramps on this gold purchase arrangement. Why hate Dr Bawumia that much. Try and be objective. Politics wont give your anything.

After the overthrow of his Merciful Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah had more than 200 tonnes in reserved for mother Ghana. Then is why propaganda started within within the military ranks of lies propagated by then opposition U . P guys that Nkrumah has sold all our Gold to Fatia home country, which was one of the main reason Nkrumah was hated by people like you.

Bogus analysis,, if purchasing of gold is what could stabilize the Cedi, why was the cedi still depreciating till NPP was kicked out of power?

In fact, people should watch Mr Yanis Varoufakis on the Break Point channel interview with him on the trade war Trump as started, he said Trump had deliberately devalued the US dollar to 30%, so by default it the U.S that has devalued it own currency. In order for us to keep the cedi in it place, we need to export more and import less. An economy that rely on import is going to be in the negative, and we haven't start producing industrially anyway in terms of major industrialization.So this government shouldn't lie about the cedi appreciation as it is they managing the economy better. My people listen to geopolitics, and geo economics, especially Prof Richard Wolfe, Prof Jeffrey Sachs and the rest, you will under how those at the top in the West still influence our economic activities.

@NAPO. So tell us what the governor said. The cedi's strength is as a result of several factors including the weakened US dollar, the drop in crude oil prices and our gold reserves. You can rant all day but that is the real8ty. And remember a continuous drop of the cedi will in the long run affect govt's revenues. Think about it. The cedi will get to its real value in due course when we start paying our foreign creditirs starting 2026

Ghana because of politics is losing her great intellectuals which are causing a great loss to the nation developments. All these intellectuals who are to impart the knowledge they have acquired to help the building of the nation have been sacked from offices and replaced by low talented Ghanaians. because of politics. People like Bawumia are great assets to the nation and their talents should not lie waste.Today the BOG Governor acknowledges the impact of Bawumia's gold purchasing gold initiatives

So those dumb asses on this platform, reserves are secured to do two things to boast confidence and assist in intervention of the market. Now, about 30 tones of gold was accumulated by the end of 2024. This has been increased to 31 tones. Meaning the Gold reserved accumulated has not been used to intervene the market. So how is the reserves then helping to bring the currency up more than any other currency in the world. It gives you one answer, Ghana is selling more Gold than previous which raking in more than enough inflows to out way demand, hence the sharp appreciation of our currency. The government is intervening in the market in a different and smart way. The reserves that was accumulated in the past is just giving that comfort to intervene without being afraid of your reserves. And why are they selling more gold. Its because they have blocked all the slippages that hitherto led to smuggling. FACTS
