In the Middle Ages, the kingdom of Ghana built its economy primarily on trade, particularly in gold and salt. The region's abundant gold resources attracted traders from across North Africa and beyond, establishing Ghana as a vital hub in trans-Saharan trade routes. Furthermore, the kingdom imposed taxes on goods passing through its territory, which generated significant revenue and contributed to its wealth and power. This thriving trade network facilitated cultural exchanges and the spread of Islam in the region.
