A mining consultant, Wisdom Gomashie has challenged claims that Ghana’s reported $214 million loss under its Domestic Gold Purchase Programme reflects a necessary policy cost.
He argues that the figures mask deeper structural issues and overstate the novelty of recent reforms.
Gomashie said assertions by economic analyst Senyo Hosi that GoldBod had significantly curbed gold smuggling since its establishment in 2025 were misleading and relied on selective use of trade data.
