The Ghana Gold Board is encouraging investors to capitalize on the thriving gold market by applying for Jewellery manufacturing and Refinery licenses during the current application window.
This move, according to its Media Relations Officer, Prince Kwame Minkah, will allow investors to tap into Ghana’s growth prospects as the country’s gold industry evolves.
Citing a latest Rand Merchant Bank report which ranks Ghana as the sixth most attractive investment destination in Africa, he emphasized that investors are offered a timely opportunity to tap into the country’s growth prospects.
The ranking assessed 31 African economies across 20 indicators under four main pillars — macroeconomic performance, market accessibility, innovation and stability, and human development — highlights Ghana’s continued economic recovery and improving investor confidence.
Appearing on Accra FM’s ‘Ghana Yensom’ program, hosted by Chief Jerry Forson, the lead communicator described the opportunity at Goldbod as a prime investment portfolio for effective investment returns.
According to RMB, Ghana’s economy is showing signs of stabilisation with growth projected at 4.3% in 2026.
The report cites gradual disinflation, fiscal reforms, and improved currency performance as key factors enhancing market perceptions.
The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) officially commenced the licensing process for Jewellery and Fabrication Licenses as well as Refinery Licenses, effective, October 22, 2025.
As a result, all existing and previous licenses issued by the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources for gold refinery and fabrication are no longer valid under the new law.
Existing operators, are therefore, required to regularize their activities by applying for new GoldBod licenses before December 31, 2025.
