Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s intention to end exports of unprocessed minerals by 2030. He presented the policy as a lever for industrialisation at the FT Africa Summit, according to Financial Afrik.
The policy aims to increase the value created in Ghana before its resources are exported. The country remains heavily dependent on commodity sales, according to Financial Afrik. John Mahama had previously defended Ghana’s non-alignment as a means of attracting investors, as part of an effort to transform the national economy. He had also called for greater processing of African minerals.
