1. It is an incontrovertible fact that the GoldBod declared an operational surplus of GHS909.7 million and an overall surplus of GHS5.44 billion for the year 2025.
These facts are contained in the 2025 audited Annual Report and Financial Statements of the GoldBod prepared by the Auditor General and published on the GoldBod’s website. For evidence, see https://goldbod.gov.gh/…/2025-Audited-Financial…
2. In spite of the substantial slump in international gold prices by over 23% since February this year, the significant reduction of GoldBod’s pricing incentives due to the cutting down of baseline program implementation from about 14% to 6%, the GoldBod has remained on course in achieving remarkable successes relative to the volume of gold purchases, foreign exchange generation, support for gold reserve accumulation, local value addition, support for sustainability initiatives and the achievement of our surplus target for the 2026 financial year.
3. The media and general public are respectfully advised to treat with utmost contempt, the discredited cacophony of lies being rehashed in recent times about GoldBod’s operations by some members in the Minority Caucus in Parliament.
4. Led by their leader, Afenyo Markin, these Members of Parliament continue to make false claims to the effect that the GoldBod is recording losses and siphoning public funds.
5. The GoldBod remains focused on the delivery of its mandate for the benefit of Ghanaians.
