Introductory remarks by the Governing Board, Swiss National Bank news conference
Introductory remarks by Mr Martin Schlegel, Chairman of the Governing Board of the SNB, Mr Antoine Martin, Vice Chairman of the Governing Board of the SNB, and Ms Petra Tschudin, Member of the Governing Board of the SNB, at the Media News Conference of the Swiss National Bank, Berne, 24 September 2026.
Dr Johnson Pandit Asiama, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, has appointed Matilda Asante-Asiedu, the Second Deputy Governor, as his representative on the Board of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod). This appointment, effective May 11, 2026, allows Asante-Asiedu to participate fully in the board's deliberations and represent the Bank of Ghana at GoldBod meetings.
The decision was communicated in a letter from the Governor, who officially nominated Asante-Asiedu to take on this role. The appointment signifies a shift in representation on the GoldBod board, with Asante-Asiedu now assuming the duties that were previously held by the Governor. The Bank of Ghana has been increasingly involved in Ghana's gold trading and foreign-exchange strategy, with GoldBod playing a critical role in the purchase, management, and export of the country's gold.
The Bank of Ghana ceased to serve as a member of the Board of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) on May 11, 2026, and the recent appointment of Asante-Asiedu ensures that the Bank of Ghana maintains its representation on the board.
