President John Dramani Mahama has commended the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) for its improved financial performance, describing the institution’s turnaround as encouraging.
Speaking at the 2026 Governing Boards and CEOs’ Conference organised by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), President Mahama highlighted GoldBod’s strong financial results.
He noted that GoldBod recorded a net profit of approximately GH¢896.5 million, compared with GH¢178.5 million in 2024.
“This performance reflects the strategic importance of building transparent, accountable, and nationally beneficial structures around Ghana’s gold trade,” President Mahama said.
The President said the significant improvement in GoldBod’s financial performance demonstrated the potential of reforms aimed at strengthening the management of Ghana’s gold resources and ensuring greater national benefit from the sector.
While describing the performance as encouraging, President Mahama cautioned that sustained results would ultimately determine the success of the institution.
He stressed the need for GoldBod to maintain strong financial performance while upholding transparency, accountability and sound governance in the management of the country’s gold trade.
