Abu Jinapor highlights increased gold exports after Domestic Gold Purchase Programme

Mr Jinapor said the measures were deliberately focused on licensed and responsible small-scale miners because the government did not want illegally sourced gold to enter the programme.

Mr Jinapor, who is now the Member of Parliament for Damongo, said the government introduced a series of measures to strengthen the programme and ensure that gold produced by licensed operators contributed directly to Ghana’s reserves and foreign exchange position.

Former Lands and Natural Resources Minister Samuel Abdulai Jinapor has highlighted Ghana’s significant gold export earnings in 2024 as evidence of the impact of policies introduced under the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
