Vice President Bawumia Touts $10 Trillion Gold Reserve as Economic Savior for Ghana

  • Dr. Bawumia proposes leveraging unexplored gold belts, purportedly worth over $10 trillion, to bolster Ghana’s economy.
  • Skepticism surrounds the feasibility of the Vice President’s plan, given the ambitious nature and past economic challenges.

 

In an address in Accra on Tuesday, Ghana’s Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, unveiled a highly ambitious plan that hinges on the country’s untapped gold reserves, claimed to be worth over $10 trillion, to alleviate its debt woes.
