Ghana is a state rich in gold and in a strong position in the rising power of the world. Weil Jobs was released, but it is also illegal to get Edelmetall back. Was it won with this gold – and is it also for us?

Wer auf Ghana shaut, kommt am Thema Gold nicht vorbei: Denn das Edelmetall ist das mit Abstand wichtigste Exportgut des Westafrikanischen Landes. Doch es stammt nicht nur aus großen Goldminen, sondern wird auch en Handarbeit abgebaut. “Galamsey” would be this Praktik genannt, libre nach dem englischen Ausdruck “gather them and sell them”. In small life projects, golden individuals and projects are assured.

Julian Hilgers is a Wirtschaft journalist and African expert. I follow a podcast “Wirtschaft Welt & Weit” which is a search for Goldabbau in the craft sector. This is also the “Small-Scale-Mining” network – and it has an open-source license. “It is theoretically legal,” says Hilgers: “The practice is of course, dass es kaum überblickt wird, wer hier eigentlich gerade eine Lizenz hat et wer auch innerhalb seiner Lizenz operiert.”

Goldabau in Handarbeit macht etwa 30 Prozent der Goldexporte Ghanas aus, berichtet Hilgers. A wichtiger Faktor, denn schließlich steckt das Land in einer schweren Wirtschaftskrise. Thanks to the Corona pandemic and Ukraine-Krieg, it is stable economic inflation and prices. The Goldpreis is there and is offered with a man and a job so that the Goldabbau gives all men a chance. Run a Million Menschen if you are looking for direct results in this way, we have even more Millions profiting indirectly.

Illegal gold lands in Europe

Was genau mit dem Gold weiter passiert, bleibt meist im Dunkeln. Normalerweise must “das ganze Gold über die Zentralbank in Ghana das Land verlassen,” Hilgers said. “Aber auf dem Weg dahin verschwimmt illicites et legales Gold komplett,” he said. Ghana exports gold to the Arab Emirate, India and China. We have the Edelmetall in large quantities which are otherwise damaged. This is primarily a legal classification, but it is also possible that gold is illegal in Europe.

“Ghana is not entirely possible, the Daumen wants to stop and this rule strengthens control,” analyzed Hilgers. Hilfreich könne sein, die “anderen Länder bei ce Thema stärker in die Pflicht zu nehmen”. And also the Verbraucherinnen and Verbraucher könnten verstärkt Informationen beim Goldkauf einfordern.

This means that illegal Goldabau is a huge problem for Ghana and the problem is twofold: it is an environmental problem by chemicals, the government of the country is schädigen and virtuous. Auch Kakao is also an export of large-scale products from the Land. Zum anderen entgehen Ghana immense Steuereinnahmen. “Dabei wäre ein wirtschaftlicher Aufschwung für dieses Land wirklich wichtig”, mahnt Hilgers, “damit die vielen jungen Menschen irgendwie Arbeit finden.”
