Bank of Ghana denies reports of planned sale of $250 million headquarters

The Bank of Ghana has rejected reports that it is considering selling its newly built headquarters in Accra, describing the claim as false and misleading.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the central bank said it was not discussing, planning, or considering the sale of the facility, which it said remains a critical asset for carrying out its mandate.

The denial follows a media report published by MyJoyOnline on June 1 that claimed the Bank of Ghana was considering selling the headquarters, reportedly valued at about $250 million.
