Natural Resources Forum, 1990, vol. 14, issue 3, 240-243

Abstract: As part of the Ghanaian government's efforts to revive the national economy a series of measures were instituted. They included devaluation of the local currency, reduction of budget deficits and the rehabilitation of basic infrastructure. The mining industry plays an important role in the national economy and special measures were also introduced to encourage its rehabilitation and development. A new licensing system was introduced and a new fiscal regime was established which inter alia allows mining companies to retain part of their export earnings offshore. The response of the private investment community to those changes has been excellent and investment in the mining industry has increased substantially.
