Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Johnson Asiama, has confirmed that he is currently operating from the central bank’s newly constructed headquarters. He made this revelation while addressing Parliament on the status of the project.

Dr. Asiama explained that his predecessor had already transitioned into the facility, as the project had reached an advanced stage of completion before he assumed office.

"Yes, my predecessor moved into the new headquarters because it was allowed as the project is about 98% complete. It is almost done, and so my predecessor moved into it," he stated.

He further noted that upon taking office, it was only practical for him to continue using the building while final touches were being made.

"When I took over, I had no choice but to also move into it while we continue all the other processes," he added.

The construction of the new BoG headquarters has sparked public debate, with concerns raised over its cost and necessity. Despite this, Dr. Asiama’s remarks indicate that the facility is already in use, even as the remaining work is completed.

The headquarters, part of the newly developed Bank Square, was officially inaugurated on November 20, 2024, by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The modern complex was designed to incorporate advanced technology and enhance the central bank’s ability to regulate Ghana’s financial system efficiently.

At the inauguration, former President Akufo-Addo underscored the project’s importance in bolstering Ghana’s financial infrastructure and ensuring the central bank meets international standards.
