Hon. Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Minister for Finance, has credited the Ghana Gold Board and its leadership with playing a central role in the ongoing stabilization of the Ghanaian economy, citing decisive reforms, institutional coordination, and strong executive support as critical to recent gains.
In an interview with Radio Gold, Dr. Ato Forson described the establishment of GoldBod as a deliberate policy response to structural weaknesses in the economy, particularly the need to build reserves, stabilize the currency, and reduce inflation.
Dr. Forson revealed that the idea of GoldBod had been in development for a long time and required leadership with the capacity to execute an ambitious institutional mandate within a short period such as this.
He praised Mr. Sammy Gyamfi, Esq., on his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, describing him as a leader with the energy, drive, and determination needed to operationalize the vision of the Board.
The Finance Minister observed that the pace and scale of work undertaken at GoldBod since its establishment have exceeded expectations, noting that progress achieved within a few months would typically take several years under conventional timelines.
“To be honest, the kind of work Sammy Gyamfi has done at GoldBod in the last few months would take somebody five years to accomplish, and I salute him for that,” he stressed.
“There is no way we could have achieved even a quarter of what we have accomplished without the support of His Excellency John Dramani Mahama,” Dr. Forson added.
