The President of the Ghana Association of Banks, Mr. Kofi Adomakoh, has described the commissioning of the new Bank of Ghana headquarters as a significant milestone in the development of Ghana’s financial sector.
Speaking at the ceremony in Accra on Wednesday, November 20, he noted that the state-of-the-art facility, known as “Bank Square,” symbolizes stability, collaboration, and the growing maturity of the country’s financial ecosystem.
Mr. Adomakoh emphasized that the newly unveiled structure represents the central bank’s critical role in shaping Ghana’s economic landscape. He pointed out that over the years, the Bank of Ghana has established a robust foundation by implementing sound policies, laws, and regulatory frameworks that form the “soft infrastructure” of the financial system. The addition of the modern headquarters completes this vision by providing the “hard infrastructure” needed to support a dynamic and innovative financial market.
He highlighted that equipped with advanced technology and an iconic architectural design, Bank Square is positioned to strengthen the central bank’s capacity for leading economic and financial transformation. Mr. Adomakoh underlined the importance of this achievement, noting how it aligns with the central bank’s mission to remain a cornerstone of Ghana’s economic stability and growth.
He compared the new headquarters to King Solomon’s temple, praising its grandeur, beauty, and exceptional craftsmanship. He emphasized that the project reflects the expertise of skilled professionals and marks a significant shift in Ghana’s approach to developing financial infrastructure.
Additionally, he mentioned that the project, constructed by Gold Key Properties, a local construction firm, showcases the capability of Ghanaian enterprises to deliver world-class infrastructure. The commissioning of Bank Square serves as a testament to the progress Ghana has made in positioning itself as a leader in financial markets within the region.
