The Bank of Ghana has denied reports suggesting it is considering selling its newly constructed headquarters, describing the claims as false, misleading, and capable of undermining confidence in the financial sector.
The clarification follows a June 1, 2026 publication by online news portal MyJoyOnline, titled “Bank of Ghana considering sale of new $260m headquarters – sources,” which alleged that the central bank was weighing a possible disposal of the facility.
In a swift response issued on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, the Bank of Ghana categorically dismissed the report, stressing that no such discussions have taken place within the institution.
“The Bank is not considering, discussing, or planning the sale of its new headquarters,” the statement read. “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 further emphasized that the publication was not only inaccurate but also risked creating unnecessary uncertainty in the financial markets.
It cautioned that unverified reporting on key financial institutions could have broader implications for public confidence in Ghana’s banking system.
“The Bank cautions that unverified media reports regarding vital financial institutions have the potential to destabilize public confidence in Ghana’s financial sector and generate unnecessary market uncertainties,” it noted, urging the public to disregard the report in its entirety.
Reaffirming its commitment to transparency and responsible communication, the Bank of Ghana encouraged media organisations and the public to verify all information through official channels before publication or circulation.
It noted that legitimate communications from the Bank are issued exclusively through its official website, Bank of Ghana Official Website, verified social media platforms, press releases from its Communications Department, and documents signed by its Secretary.
