Ghana's state gold agency, GoldBod, recorded a profit of GH¢896.5 million in 2025, a fivefold rise from the previous year, according to Ecofin Agency. The increase is attributed to stronger gold trading, the outlet reported.
President John Mahama commended the agency over the result and called for stronger core operations, according to Adomonline and GhanaWeb. The Christian Council of Ghana also praised GoldBod for what UA.NEWS described as responsible gold management.
The profit figure was reported by multiple Ghanaian outlets, including Adomonline and GhanaWeb, which both cited the GH¢896.5 million total. Graphic Online published commentary framing the result around gold discipline and national control of the sector.
According to Ecofin Agency, the jump in earnings stemmed from improved performance in gold trading rather than any single one-off event. The agency's report did not break down the profit by segment.
GoldBod is Ghana's state body for the gold trade, and its earnings are closely watched because gold is one of the country's principal export commodities. The reported profit places the agency's 2025 performance well above its prior-year result.
The coverage follows a pattern of public attention on the agency's role in managing the country's gold trade, with both the presidency and religious leaders weighing in on its performance.
What to watch next: whether GoldBod releases a detailed breakdown of the 2025 figures and how the agency's core operations perform in the coming year.
