The Bank of Ghana has clarified its representation on the Board of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) following recent public commentary on the matter.
In a press release issued on 28 September 2026, the Bank stated that Dr Johnson Asiama, Governor of the Bank of Ghana, ceased to serve as a member of the GoldBod Board effective 11 May 2026.
Since that date, the Governor has not participated in any meetings or activities of the GoldBod Board.
In accordance with Section 4 of the Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140), which provides for representation of the Bank of Ghana on the GoldBod Board by the Governor or an official of the Bank not below the rank of Director, the Bank has nominated its Second Deputy Governor, Mrs Matilda Asante-Asiedu, to serve as its representative on the Board.
Mrs Asante-Asiedu has since assumed that role and represents the Bank on the GoldBod Board in fulfilment of the statutory requirement.
The Bank of Ghana reaffirmed its commitment to the highest standards of governance, transparency and the avoidance of any actual or perceived conflict of interest in the discharge of its mandate.
The statement was issued by the Communications Department.
