Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, and Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, have co-chaired a high-level meeting to accelerate the implementation of the Ghana Accelerated National Reserve Accumulation Policy (GANRAP).
The policy, designed to strengthen Ghana’s reserves and support a more stable cedi, places emphasis on reforming the gold acquisition framework and reinforcing compliance across the sector.
The meeting brought together key stakeholders, including leadership from large-scale mining companies, Sammy Gyamfi, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, and officials from the Minerals Commission.
Dr. Forson described the engagement as “constructive,” stressing that the initiative is not anti-industry but “pro-country,” highlighting the government’s commitment to building a resilient economy while maintaining strong partnerships with the mining sector.
Minister Buah echoed this sentiment, noting that GANRAP represents a collaborative effort to harness Ghana’s natural resources responsibly and strategically for national benefit.
The discussions mark a significant step in aligning government policy with industry cooperation, reinforcing Ghana’s determination to stabilize its currency and safeguard economic growth.
