MIIF Records GH¢5.43 Billion Mineral Royalties in 2025, Highest Since Inception

The Minerals Investment and Income Fund (MIIF) has reported total mineral royalty inflows of GH¢5.43 billion for 2025, marking the highest revenue since the Fund’s establishment. This figure surpasses the GH¢4.9 billion recorded in 2024, representing a 10.8% year-on-year growth.

Chief Executive of MIIF, Justina Nelson, disclosed the performance during a programme held in Accra. She attributed the robust results to disciplined enforcement, strong internal systems, and effective leadership.

“Performance is the outcome of disciplined enforcement, strategic oversight, and firm institutional resolve,” Madam Nelson said, emphasizing that these factors were critical to achieving record revenues.

She also highlighted that the results were achieved despite challenging currency conditions.

“It is important to know that this was achieved in a year when the cedi appreciated significantly against major trading currencies, particularly the United States Dollar,” she noted, adding that the Fund had demonstrated resilience amid these economic pressures.

Madam Nelson further underscored that strengthened internal controls were a key driver of the strong performance. Reforms aligned with amendments to the Public Procurement Act and the Public Financial Management Act have helped safeguard the Fund against procurement breaches during her first year in office.

“These improvements have positioned the Fund strongly for the year ahead. I can confidently say that the Fund has entered 2026 from a position of strength,” she remarked.

Beyond revenue growth, Madam Nelson emphasized the Fund’s commitment to accountability, transparency, and long-term value creation.

“We are also committed to transparency and determined to ensure that Ghana’s mineral wealth delivers enduring value for present and future generations,” she added.

The record mineral royalty inflows reflect the resilience of Ghana’s mineral revenue framework and signal strong prospects for the MIIF in 2026 and beyond.
