Mining continues to be a critical component in national development as data from the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) showed that the mining sector’s total fiscal contribution in 2019 was the second highest after the financial and insurance sectors, which translated into 7.7 per cent of domestic revenue. This notwithstanding, the share of the mining and quarrying sector in total direct domestic receipts mobilized by the GRA improved by 70 per cent from GH₵ 2.36 billion in 2018 to GH₵ 4.02 billion in 2019.
