How gold is priced in Ghana

In Ghana gold is priced in cedis per ounce for bullion and the Ghana Gold Coin, and per gram by karat for jewellery. The figures here are the international spot price converted at today's USD/GHS rate — the metal value before VAT, levies and dealer margins.

GoldBod: the sole buyer and exporter of small-scale gold

The Ghana Gold Board Act, 2025 (Act 1140) created the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod). Since 1 May 2025 it has been the only buyer, seller, assayer and exporter of gold from licensed artisanal and small-scale mines; dealing in that gold without a GoldBod licence is an offence, and foreigners were barred from the local gold trade. GoldBod exported 104 tonnes of artisanal gold in 2025. From 1 September 2026, artisanal doré must be refined in Ghana before it can be exported. Large-scale mines export their own output.

The Ghana Gold Coin

The Bank of Ghana launched the Ghana Gold Coin in late 2024 as part of its domestic gold purchase programme. The coins are made from Ghanaian doré refined to 99.99%, come in 1, ½ and ¼ oz sizes, and are sold through commercial banks. The Bank publishes a price every business day, based on the LBMA gold price and the cedi exchange rate, so it moves with the figures on this page.

VAT and levies

Under the VAT Act, 2025 (Act 1151), in force since 1 January 2026, taxable supplies carry 15% VAT plus 2.5% NHIL and 2.5% GETFund levy — 20% in total — and the 1% COVID-19 levy was abolished. Gold and jewellery are not among the exempt or zero-rated supplies, so jewellery bought from a VAT-registered business is taxed. Ask for an invoice showing weight, karat and tax separately.

Tax and duty information last reviewed October 2026. Rules change — confirm with your dealer or tax authority before a large purchase.

Gold Price in Ghana: FAQ

What is the gold price in Ghana today?

At the international spot price (Oct 22, 2026, 21:00 GMT): about GHS 47,035 per ounce and GHS 1,512 per gram of pure gold; 22K gold is worth about GHS 1,385 per gram. That is the international price converted to cedis. The Bank of Ghana prices its Ghana Gold Coin daily from the same inputs, and jewellery from a VAT-registered seller carries 15% VAT plus 5% in levies.

Who buys gold from small-scale miners in Ghana?

Only GoldBod and the buyers and aggregators it licenses. Since 1 May 2025 GoldBod has been the sole buyer, seller, assayer and exporter of artisanal and small-scale gold.

How is the Ghana Gold Coin priced?

The Bank of Ghana publishes a daily price based on the LBMA gold price and the cedi exchange rate. Its metal value is in the coin table above.

Is there VAT on gold jewellery in Ghana?

Yes, when sold by a VAT-registered business: 15% VAT plus 2.5% NHIL and 2.5% GETFund levy since January 2026.

Why does the cedi gold price move more than the dollar price?

The local price is the dollar price × the USD/GHS rate, so a weaker cedi pushes the gold price in cedis up.

What is the highest gold price ever in Ghanaian cedis?

The highest daily close in our data is GHS 57,991 per ounce (GHS 1,864 per gram), on 29 January 2026: the international price converted at that day's exchange rate. The table of prices by year shows each year's high and low.

How has the gold price changed in Ghanaian cedis over 10 years?

From the end of 2015 to the end of 2025, gold went from GHS 4,040 to GHS 47,318 an ounce in Ghanaian cedis, a rise of 1,071%. Part of any change in a local currency comes from the exchange rate, not the metal.
