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.

Putin Pledges an Equal and Indivisible Security System

Vladimir Putin has been inaugurated as President of Russia for his fourth term, adhering to the tradition at the Kremlin.
The ceremony highlighted Russia's commitment to dialogue with the West and emphasized the nation's security interests.
Putin reiterated the importance of equal footing in discussions and the pursuit of a multipolar world order.
His presidency will last until 2030.
"Together with our partners in Eurasian integration and other sovereign development centers, we will continue to work to form a multipolar world order, equal and indivisible security system," Putin said at the ceremony.

Basel III and the Gold Standard

The manipulation of paper trading will be minimized with Basel III unallocated limit restrictions.
Gold and silver prices are sure to rise in the run-up to full implementation of Basel 3 regulations as the metals become a risk-free tier 1 asset with liquidity equal to cash and financial establishments mandated to hold more physical leverage against debt.
Basel III implementation is just weeks away, ahead of the historic impact of unallocated position limit restrictions on the suppression of the gold and silver price.
