BoG Denies Plans to Sell $260m New Headquarters

The Bank of Ghana has dismissed reports that it is considering the sale of its new $260 million headquarters, describing the publication as false and misleading.

In a statement, the Central Bank said categorically that it is not considering, discussing, or planning the sale of its new headquarters.

The Bank described the facility, which was commissioned to support its operations, as a critical asset that enhances efficiency in discharging its statutory mandate.

“The Bank is not considering, discussing, or planning the sale of its new headquarters. The facility… remains a critical asset of the Bank,” the statement read.

It warned that unverified reports of this nature have the potential to undermine public confidence in Ghana’s financial system and create unnecessary market uncertainty.

The Bank urged the public and media to disregard the publication and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and said it will continue engaging stakeholders through official channels.

All authentic BoG communication, it noted, is issued via bog.gov.gh, verified social media handles, press statements from the Communications Department, and signed statements from the Secretary of the Bank.
