The gold price when Asaase Royalties (later Agyapa Royalties) was birthed and ready to be listed on the London Stock Exchange was approximately $1,300. There was a strong appetite for the listing, with over $750m to be raised by floating 49% of the shares on the stock exchange, while Ghana still retains its majority shareholding. Today, the gold price is almost $5,000. Now, just imagine how much money would have been flowing into our economy if Agyapa Royalties had been listed on the LSE, GSE, and other stock exchanges, alongside the work that GoldBod is doing. Sadly, we will never know. That is what happens when petty politics and personal interest override the national interest. A vision that is good for our country should not be killed because we want personal interests, including political interests, to override the national interest.
