Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, says the true measure of success for the institution lies not in operational milestones but in achieving its central objective — exchange rate stability and gold reserve accumulation for the country.
Speaking in an interview on The Point of View with Bernard Avle, Gyamfi stressed that until those outcomes are realized, all efforts by the Board would count for little.
Until the overarching objective of the setting up of the GoldBod is achieved, which is exchange rate stability and Gold Reserve Accumulation by the Central Bank, we’ve achieved nothing,” Gyamfi said.
He emphasized that he expects to be assessed based on those clear-cut results.
“And so at the end of the day, that is what I want to be measured by and that is what the president will measure me by,” he added.
According to Gyamfi, although the work is still ongoing, the Board has made notable strides courtesy the productive collaborations with key industry actors.
So far I believe we’re on track and we’re still learning by the day. The cooperation we had from stakeholders and industry players have been very helpful,” he noted.
Expressing confidence in the path ahead, Gyamfi said he is optimistic that the results of their efforts will soon begin to show.
“I have no doubt in my mind that very soon we’ll begin to see the results. And when the results start coming, we’ll know whether we’re fit for the job or not.”
