The Minerals Investment and Income Fund (MIIF) received GH¢5.43 billion from mineral royalties in 2025, making it the highest amount the fund has earned since it was created.

This is higher than the GH¢4.9 billion it recorded in 2024, showing an increase of about 10.8%.

The Chief Executive of MIIF, Justina Nelson, shared this information at an event in Accra.

She explained that the strong performance was due to better internal systems and good leadership.

“Performance is the outcome of disciplined enforcement, strategic oversight, and firm institutional resolve,” she said.

Madam Nelson explained that the achievement came in spite of pressures from currency movements.

“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 further indicated that the Fund remained strong despite these challenges.

“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.

She also identified improved internal controls as a major contributor to the strong performance.

She noted that reforms tied to changes in the Public Procurement Act and the Public Financial Management Act have helped protect the institution from procurement breaches within her first year in office.

In her view, these changes have placed the Fund in a strong position going into the next year.

“I can confidently say that the Fund has entered 2026 from a position of strength,” she said.

She emphasised the Fund’s dedication to accountability and creating 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.
