The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has denied rumours that it is thinking about selling its recently completed headquarters, calling them untrue and deceptive.
The Bank Square’s construction began in 2019 under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, and in November 2024, then-President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo gave the project his blessing.
The building took the place of the Bank of Ghana’s old headquarters, which officials claimed was unsafe and had grown unsuitable.
In September 2025, the Bank of Ghana formally relocated to The Bank Square.
But according to a report from myjoyonline, the central bank is thinking about selling the new headquarters.
However, the BoG rejected a publishing in a statement on June 2, 2026, stating that no such preparations or conversations are in progress.
“The Bank of Ghana categorically states that this report is false and misleading,” the statement said.
The Bank maintains that the sale of its new headquarters, which it identified as a vital asset supporting its operations and statutory mandate, is not being considered, discussed, or planned.
The statement stated, “The facility, which was commissioned to support the Bank’s operations and enhance efficiency in the discharge of its statutory mandate, remains a critical asset of the Bank.”
The central bank cautioned that unconfirmed allegations of this kind could erode trust in Ghana’s financial system and cause needless market anxiety, urging the public and media outlets to ignore the publication.
“We urge the public and the media to disregard this publication. Unverified reports of this nature have the potential to undermine public confidence in Ghana’s financial system and create unnecessary market uncertainty,” according to the Bank.
