For decades, Ghana was one of the world's largest gold producers — yet the country never fully controlled the most important stage of the process.
.
Gold was mined at home, but its defining transformation happened abroad. Purity was certified elsewhere. Value was finalized elsewhere. Authority shifted quietly at the moment of refinement.
.
Now, Ghana has made a structural change.
By redirecting artisanal gold through a centralized system, refining it domestically to international standards, and stamping it with state-backed certification, Ghana has moved the decisive step of the gold value chain inside its own borders.
No export bans.

Why mining alone does not create leverage
How certification determines power in global markets.
.
The role of the Ghana Gold Board
Why refining domestically changes negotiation dynamics
