Bank of Ghana defends ongoing $82M headquarters construction amid $1.58B loss, while seeking government bailout.

Bank of Ghana (BoG) is defending its $82M construction of new headquarters despite a $1.58B loss in 2023, stating the project is too advanced to halt and the bank's losses are due to multiple factors.

BoG is seeking a government bailout to recapitalize and support its policy objectives.
