TREE NEWS reports: Ghana’s gross international reserves fell to $11.1 billion last month, the Bank of Ghana said Wednesday in its economic and financial data summary, the lowest level since August 2025 when reserves stood at $10.9 billion. The decline came as the West African country, Africa’s largest gold producer, saw a surge in crude oil imports.

The drawdown reflects a familiar pressure point for frontier commodity exporters: rising crude import bills can erode reserve buffers even when gold export earnings are strong. Because Ghana is Africa's largest gold producer, the divergence between bullion tailwinds and reserve losses suggests the trade balance is being driven more by energy needs than by export receipts. Whether the central bank rebuilds reserves through gold-sector inflows, or the oil-import surge persists, is the key variable to watch.
