Ashanti Green Initiative Partners with African Mining Week (AMW) 2025 to Drive Mineral Industrialization Inbox

 


The Ashanti Green Initiative - led by Oheneba Nana Kwaku Duah, Prince of the Ashanti Kingdom of Ghana - has joined the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) as a partner. The foundation’s participation underscores its commitment to strengthening cooperation between Ghana and global mining stakeholders in advancing Africa’s mineral industrialization agenda.


At AMW, the Ashanti Green Initiative will engage in high-level panel discussions, exclusive networking sessions and project showcases, with a particular focus on emerging opportunities within Ghana’s mining sector. The conference provides an ideal platform to highlight the critical role of artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM) in driving the growth of Ghana’s gold industry - Africa’s largest and the world’s sixth largest - and to showcase the foundation’s contribution to Ghana’s efforts to formalize and strengthen the ASM sector.

As organizers of the Mining in Motion Summit - Ghana’s premier ASM-focused platform that brings together artisanal miners, large-scale mining companies, policymakers and investors - the Ashanti Green Initiative has established itself as a key driver of Ghana’s gold sector modernization and resilience. The Mining in Motion Summit, held in Accra from June 2–4, 2025, convened over 600 stakeholders, including more than 50 companies across the mining value chain, as well as high-level dignitaries such as Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, King of the Ashanti Kingdom; John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana and ministers from across Africa. The gathering fostered best practices to advance Ghana’s gold production and accelerate ASM formalization.

At AMW 2025, the Ashanti Green Initiative is expected to further drive Ghana’s agenda to attract investment across the mining value chain. The event will feature strong representation from Ghana, including Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, Minister of Lands and Natural Resources; Typhoon Greenfield Development - Ghana’s first small-scale mining firm compliant with London Bullion Market Association standards - and gold producer Gold Fields. Dedicated Ghana-focused panel discussions at AMW will offer the foundation an opportunity to engage directly with global investors while showcasing Ghana’s vision for sustainable mining, economic growth and ASM expansion.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
