The Bank of Ghana has refuted claims by MyJoyOnline that it is currently considering the sale of its new $260 million headquarters.
In a statement released earlier today, the Central Bank stated categorically that it is currently not “considering, discussing, or planning” the sale of its new headquarters, adding that the facility continues to remain a “critical asset of the Bank.”
The Central Bank also proceeded to raise concerns about the potential impact of such unverified reports, warning that publications of this nature have the potential to undermine public confidence in Ghana’s financial system and create unnecessary market uncertainty.
The Bank hence urged both the public and the media to disregard the MyJoyOnline publication entirely.
The Bank of Ghana then took the opportunity to remind media outlets to seek clarification from the Bank before publishing information relating to its operations, reaffirming its commitment to transparency through official channels.
The Bank then reminded the public that all of its official communications are issued via its website bog.gov.gh, verified social media handles, press statements from the Communications Department, and signed statements from the Secretary of the Bank.
