The Minerals Investment and Income Fund (MIIF) has recorded total mineral royalty inflows of GH¢5.43 billion for 2025, the highest since its establishment.
The figure surpasses the GH¢4.9 billion recorded in 2024, representing a 10.8% year-on-year increase.
Chief Executive of MIIF, Justina Nelson, disclosed this at a programme in Accra.
She attributed the performance to strong internal systems and leadership.
“Performance is the outcome of disciplined enforcement, strategic oversight, and firm institutional resolve,” she said.
Madam Nelson noted that the results were achieved despite currency pressures.
“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 said.
She added that the Fund remained resilient in the face of these conditions.
“We still delivered GH¢5.43 billion, a significant record since the Fund began operations, demonstrating the strength and resilience of Ghana’s mineral revenue framework,” she said.
The MIIF boss also pointed to strengthened internal controls as a key factor behind the performance.
She said reforms aligned with amendments to the Public Procurement Act and the Public Financial Management Act have helped safeguard the institution against procurement breaches within her first year in office.
According to her, 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 said.
Madam Nelson stressed the Fund’s commitment to accountability and long-term value.
“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.
