Accra, Sept. 24, GNA – The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) and the Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX) have initiated discussions to promote gold trading on the GCX platform.
The initiative is expected to broaden access to gold ownership and investment opportunities for individuals and institutions, a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, has said.
The collaboration, it said, was exploring innovative trading models, including tokenisation and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), aimed at creating new avenues for investment and wealth creation.
The statement noted that the initiative would help formalise and modernise gold trading in Ghana while positioning the country as a key player in structured gold markets across Africa.
It said GoldBod had also begun engagements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to ensure that the frameworks for proposed gold investment instruments meet regulatory requirements and guarantee investor protection.
The statement said the Board assured that the public would be updated once the discussions were finalised.
It said the partnership was regarded as a strategic step in Ghana’s efforts to leverage its gold resources more effectively by offering transparent and innovative investment opportunities in the country’s most valuable mineral.
