Ghana’s gold reserves have seen a substantial increase, with the Bank of Ghana (BoG) successfully adding 7.42 tonnes of the precious mineral to its official holdings between January and October of 2025.
Data released by the Central Bank showed that the significant accumulation was a direct outcome of the nation’s ongoing domestic gold purchase programme, aimed at strengthening Ghana’s reserve base and enhancing its capacity to withstand global economic shocks.
The Bank of Ghana’s records show that the nation’s total gold holdings, as of January 31, 2025, stood at 30.62 tonnes.
Through a consistent monthly buying effort, the figure grew steadily throughout the period, culminating in a total reserve holding of 38.04 tonnes by October 31, 2025.
The 7.42-tonne increase over the nine-month period highlighted the strategic importance the BoG placed on diversifying its reserves away from traditional foreign currency holdings.
