The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama, has confirmed that the project is 98% complete.
Addressing Parliament on Wednesday, 5th March 2025, Dr Asiama explained that his predecessor had already moved into the facility before leaving office.
He emphasised that the move was permitted under the contract. “The project is about 98% complete. Since my predecessor had already taken occupancy, I had no choice but to continue using it while the remaining processes are finalised,” he added.
While responding to questions on the cost of the Bank of Ghana’s new headquarters, Dr Asiama reaffirmed the central bank’s commitment to its core responsibilities of maintaining price stability, financial sector resilience, and economic growth.
“Public trust is fundamental to our operations,” he noted, stressing that the bank’s decisions are guided by transparency, sound financial management, and prudent decision-making.
He also assured Parliament that the newly appointed Board of Directors would take its oversight responsibilities seriously and ensure that all expenditures, including the cost of the new headquarters, provide value for money.
“The new board will exercise its oversight responsibilities efficiently and ensure value for money in all our undertakings,” he assured lawmakers.
