Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod): What International Gold Investors Need to Know

Welcome to Ghana’s New Era of Gold Trade – Powered by Clinton Consultancy

With the recent passage of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) Bill, the gold sector in Ghana is entering a new phase of formalization, transparency, and efficiency. For international investors looking to buy gold and export legally from Ghana, the creation of GoldBod offers a streamlined gateway — and Clinton Consultancy is here to guide you through it all.


What is GoldBod?

GoldBod is Ghana’s new centralized authority for regulating gold trading, especially within the small-scale mining sector. It has assumed key functions previously managed by the PMMC and Minerals Commission. GoldBod is now the sole legal channel for purchasing and exporting gold sourced from small-scale miners.


Why GoldBod Matters to International Investors

  • One-stop shop: GoldBod consolidates licensing, assaying, and export processes into a single platform.
  • Standardized pricing & procedures: Clear, predictable rules reduce confusion and delay.
  • Higher compliance & credibility: Gold exported through GoldBod is traceable and meets international ESG and AML standards.
  • Smuggling reduction: A regulated market creates a safer environment for investors.
  • Confidence in quality: All gold will be officially assayed and sealed prior to export.

Can You Still Export Gold from Ghana as a Foreign Investor?

Yes. However, all gold purchases and exports must now go through GoldBod or its licensed aggregators. Export processes will still be completed at the airport (e.g., Kotoka International Airport), but only after:

  • Purchasing gold through a licensed GoldBod channel
  • Completing assaying and sealing procedures
  • Submitting required documentation for Customs and export clearance
