The Bank of Ghana commissioned a new office building recently. The new building was financed and constructed by the Bank at a time when its performance was continuously short of its core mandate.

All-in-all, the construction of the new office building, which is not expected to advance the attainment of the Bank’s mandate in anyway by itself, seems to have been undertaken at a time that all policy energies should have been garnered towards reducing inflation and depreciation of the cedi, and bolstering the banking system to support growth and reduce unemployment.

Thus, the management of the Bank of Ghana seems to have taken decisions that are incongruent with their mandate and, thus, puts them out of touch with a significant majority of Ghanaians.
