Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) Dr Ernest Addison

Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG) Dr Ernest Addison has said that he is filled with optimism that the new headquarters of the BoG, The Bank Square will remain a significant investment in the collective future as a nation.

He said this would also push the Bank towards new frontiers in central banking and demonstrate what we as a nation are capable of achieving.

“We remain committed to delivering on our mandate, and this new facility should enable us to do so effectively,” Dr Addison said during the commissioning of the new facility in Accra last week.

He further explained that The Bank Square, was designed with the future in mind and stands as one of the most important modern civic landmarks in the city of Accra and for that matter, our nation.

This building, he said, will play a pivotal role in shaping Ghana’s identity as leading force in Africa’s financial ecosystem, symbolizing Ghana’s growing influence as an economic powerhouse on the world stage.

By commissioning this product of the imagination of an internationally celebrated architect, Sir David Adjaye, a proud son of Ghana, “we are boldly affirming our commitment to investing in the nation’s future. His architectural firm, Adjaye Associates, has created this enduring masterpiece—one designed to withstand the test of time and serve as a beacon of Ghana’s revitalization for generations to come,” Dr Addison said.

Architecturally, he added, The Bank Square is a bold statement of Bank of Ghana’s enduring presence and authority in the financial landscape. Clad in durable stone, the building symbolizes permanence and resilience, much like ancient monuments that have withstood the test of time.

“This material not only conveys the Bank’s stature but also requires minimal maintenance and supports the building’s sustainability goals. This architectural form
reflects the Bank’s role as a regulatory authority and affirms its importance within the nation’s economic framework.

“Standing at 100 meters, it is not only the tallest building in Ghana, but also the most sustainable EDGE Advanced structure of its size in the country and in the sub-region. This landmark complex is entirely powered by its own harvested solar energy, setting a new standard for environmentally conscious civic and public buildings across Africa. Together,
the four buildings will accommodate over 2,500 staff and alongside offices and public banking facilities, there is a currency museum, conference and press amenities, 1,500 seat auditorium and rooftop terraces. Despite all the innovative features of the building, by acquiring the services of local partners, the Management of Bank of Ghana has ensured that the value for money assessment of this project can boast of a lower cost per square meter than comparable projects in Accra.

“In addition, the construction of THE BANK SQUARE has provided an invaluable opportunity for hundreds of local workers to upskill their trades and crafts. It has equipped them with expertise to create buildings that set new standards in sustainability and craftsmanship, positioning them at the forefront of modern construction in Africa.

16. Your Excellency, this is a civic building in the heart of Accra, that is designed to honour, shape and celebrate the future of Ghana. This state-of-the-art facility will foster creativity, collaboration, and efficiency, and undoubtedly it will enhance productivity in the Bank and further drive our success. We envision this building as a hub for innovation, where
more groundbreaking ideas will be born and nurtured. It will be a place where our new generation of officials will thrive and achieve new heights in modern central banking.”
