As part of its Cedi at 60 commemorative program, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) has announced plans to relaunch the gold coin to increase inclusion and increase public access to gold ownership.
The initiative is intended to guarantee that every Ghanaian has the chance to own some form of gold, reflecting the nation’s history as one of the world’s top producers of gold, the governor of the Bank of Ghana stated during a 125th MPC press briefing on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.
“Even though there is a lot of interest in the Gold Coin, we need to relaunch it as part of the Cedi @60 programmes. We are coming back stronger on that programme. Every Ghanaian should be able to buy some form of gold, and that is exactly what this program intends to achieve,” he mentioned.
The decision was made while there is still a high demand for gold worldwide and Ghana is still making gold a top priority in its efforts to manage its reserves and stabilise its currency.
To provide the public with more investment options, the Ghana Gold Coin was formally unveiled as a new financial instrument. The objective was to strengthen the nation’s financial instruments portfolio while providing the general public with a cutting-edge investment option.
This program aimed to strengthen the local currency relative to major trading currencies and absorb excess market liquidity as part of the domestic gold program. The BoG is bringing back the idea of celebrating 60 years of Ghana’s national currency while providing a physical store of value for regular people with the Cedi at 60 initiative.
According to economists, the initiative could help efforts to establish a local gold market and provide households with a low-risk savings option.
The celebrations of Cedi at 60 also include policy forums, public exhibitions, and educational campaigns that highlight the development of Ghana’s currency and its significance to the country’s progress.
