The acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, has earned high praise from President John Mahama for the institution’s outstanding achievements since its inception.
Launched on April 2, 2025, the Ghana GoldBoard has swiftly established itself as a formidable force in the gold trading sector, with its mandate to oversee and regulate gold trading activities in the country yielding impressive results.
President Mahama, speaking at an event in the Ahafo Region as part of his national “Thank You” tour, lavished praise on Gyamfi’s leadership.
“Mr. Sammy Gyamfi is the Chief Executive of the Ghana Goldbod that is doing wonders already.”
This glowing endorsement is proof of the institution’s remarkable strides, which have garnered widespread public support and admiration.
The GoldBoard’s impressive performance has been accompanied by a significant strengthening of the local currency, with the cedi appreciating substantially against the US dollar. From a high of nearly GH¢16 to the dollar last year, the cedi has now stabilised at around GH¢10 to the dollar, a development that has been met with optimism by citizens and market observers alike.
The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, has reaffirmed the central bank’s commitment to sustaining the cedi’s rebound, emphasising ongoing efforts to bolster the local currency and maintain its competitiveness in the global market.
The institution’s remarkable achievements under Sammy Gyamfi thus far are a powerful indicator of its potential to drive economic growth and development in Ghana, and its future prospects appear bright.
