Chairman of the Ghana Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (GHEITI), Dr. Steve Manteaw, has described the rebranding of GoldBod’s Jewellery Limited as a game-changer that could redefine value addition in Ghana’s gold industry.
According to him, the subsidiary is well-positioned to leverage Ghana’s reputation as a leading gold producer to enhance the country’s gains from the sector.
Commenting on his official Facebook page about the transformation of PMMC Jewellery Limited into GoldBod’s Jewellery Limited, Dr. Manteaw wrote:
“Value addition is a game changer in this business. It adds value to our minerals, fetches more export revenue, creates jobs, and generates additional tax revenue at both corporate and personal levels.”
Meanwhile, the Founding President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, also commended GoldBod for its focus on adding value to the commodity.
He encouraged Ghanaians to invest in gold and gold jewellery as a reliable store of value.
“Folks, gold has proven to be the safest and most reliable store of value. Why not purchase and invest in gold, yes, including jewellery,” he wrote.
The state-run agency recently announced the restructuring and rebranding of its fully owned Ghanaian jewellery manufacturing company, incorporated in 2016.
The rebranding seeks to deliver authentic, exquisitely crafted local jewellery and ornaments, while promoting the patronage of Made-in-Ghana products.
GoldBod’s Jewellery currently operates seven showrooms located at Diamond House, East Legon, Marina Mall–Spintex, Tema, Osu, Kumasi Airport, and Adum, offering customers the finest selection of Ghanaian-made gold jewellery.
