The Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) is set to build on last year’s achievements and further establish itself as a leading sovereign wealth fund. This was announced by the ,
CEO Justina Nelson.
In a New Year message shared across the Fund’s social media platforms, Mrs. Nelson emphasized the importance of collaboration with stakeholders to create lasting value.
“Last year marked a defining phase in our transformational journey, delivering strong institutional reforms aligned with the standards of a world-class sovereign wealth fund. In 2026, together with our stakeholders, we will build on the successes of 2025; strong financial performance, robust internal systems, sound compliance and risk management, and strategic investments that secure value for both present and future generations. Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year,” she stated.
Her comments follow a year of notable progress for MIIF, which saw the implementation of major institutional reforms that translated into impressive financial outcomes, particularly in royalty receipts.
Data from 2025 indicates strong growth across Ghana’s mineral revenue streams.
Large-scale gold mining, the country’s primary revenue driver, posted royalty collections of US$291.87 million by September—a 40.18% increase compared with US$208.20 million in the same period in 2024.
Mid-tier gold producers also contributed to the positive trend, with royalties rising from GH₵40.61 million in the first nine months of 2024 to GH₵59.44 million in 2025, representing a 46.38% increase.
The manganese sector stood out with a striking 170% surge in royalty inflows, climbing from US$4.72 million to US$12.75 million, driven by higher production and stronger regulatory compliance.
Other segments mirrored this upward trajectory: the quarry industry recorded a 13.12% increase, from GH₵11.62 million to GH₵13.15 million, while sand mining royalties rose 21.48%, from GH₵364,998.58 to GH₵433,406.41.
These figures, she said, underscore strengthened regulatory oversight, rising production levels, and continued investor confidence in Ghana’s mining industry, positioning MIIF for further success in 2026.
