News Date: September 28, 2024

The Bank of Ghana has introduced a new gold coin to enhance money-market liquidity and promote domestic savings.
Made from locally mined gold, the coin is refined to 99.99% purity.
It is issued and guaranteed by the central bank, with three available sizes: one ounce, half ounce, and quarter ounce, according to Governor Ernest Addison.
The initiative aims to strengthen Ghana's financial market and savings culture.
"The Ghana gold coin enables the Bank of Ghana to mop up excess liquidity in the banking sector and will supplement the bank's bills for liquidity management. It gives those resident in Ghana an additional avenue to invest to reap the benefits of the Bank of Ghana???s domestic gold purchase program." Addison said.

China is closer to the gold standard

Update from November 1st:
China Securities Index Co launched two gold-linked stock indices to cash in on surging demand for exposure to the safe-haven metal.
The new indexes include shares of global gold miners such as Newmont Corporation and Barrick Gold.
In response to Western responses to military conflicts, Chinese government-affiliated researchers are considering several strategies for China.
One is the issuance of gold-denominated bonds, supported by gold reserves, which would bolster economic resilience and establish China as a stable global player.
Another approach involves creating a global network of Chinese companies to diversify trade relationships and reduce vulnerability to sanctions.
Additionally, seizing American assets within China is seen as a retaliatory measure to protect Chinese interests and discourage unilateral actions by the U.S.
These strategies reported through Reuters collectively aim to ensure China's economic stability and global influence in an evolving geopolitical landscape.

Central banks gold reserves switch

The central banks are increasingly concerned about inflation, and the major ones start giving out signals that they won't let inflation run too hot, even if it means slower growth.
In commodities, the upside potential in gold is more than just a safe haven hedge, as the rising geopolitical tensions and the latest sanctions imposed on the Russian central bank will bring the central banks around the world to reconsider their FX holdings, and start shifting towards a nationless gold.
