Bank of Ghana dismisses reports of planned headquarters sale

The Bank of Ghana has dismissed reports suggesting it is considering the sale of its new headquarters, describing the claims as false and misleading.

The statement was issued by the Bank’s Communications Department on June 2, 2026.

The Central Bank was responding to a publication by MyJoyOnline on June 1, 2026, titled “Bank of Ghana considering sale of new $260m headquarters – sources.”

According to the Bank, the report does not reflect its position and should be disregarded by the public.

“The Bank of Ghana categorically states that this report is false and misleading,” the statement said.

The Bank stressed that there are no ongoing discussions, plans or considerations regarding the sale of the facility.

It explained that the headquarters remains an important asset that supports its day-to-day operations and strengthens its ability to carry out its mandate.

“The Bank is not considering, discussing, or planning the sale of its new headquarters,” the statement added.

The Bank further noted that the facility was commissioned to support its operations and improve efficiency in the discharge of its statutory responsibilities. It said the headquarters continues to play a key role in its work and remains central to its activities.

Officials also cautioned against the circulation of unverified reports, warning that such publications could have wider implications for public confidence in the country’s financial sector.

“Unverified reports of this nature have the potential to undermine public confidence in Ghana’s financial system and create unnecessary market uncertainty,” the statement noted.

The Bank reiterated its commitment to transparency and said it would continue to engage stakeholders through its approved communication channels.

It advised the public to rely on information published through its official platforms, including its website, verified social media accounts, communications from its Communications Department and statements signed by the Secretary of the Bank.

The statement also encouraged media organisations to seek clarification directly from the Bank before publishing reports concerning its operations to ensure accuracy and prevent misinformation.
