Ghana's Chamber of Mines has warned that the government's local content requirements are imposing additional costs on mining operations, arguing the sector already effectively subsidises the state. The intervention sharpens the local-content policy debate relevant to other African resource economies, and follows the government's September 1 ban on unrefined artisanal gold exports.
