The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has firmly rejected claims made by the Minority in Parliament regarding its 2025 financial accounts, describing the assertions as a result of misinterpretation of its audited statements.
In a detailed response, the central bank clarified that the figures being circulated and the conclusions drawn by the Minority do not accurately reflect the contents of its audited financial reports. According to the BoG, the statements in question have been taken out of context, leading to what it describes as misleading public commentary on its financial position.
The Minority had earlier raised concerns over aspects of the Bank’s 2025 accounts, suggesting possible inconsistencies and questioning the accuracy of some reported figures. However, the BoG insists that its financial statements comply fully with established accounting standards and have undergone the necessary audit processes.
The Bank further explained that key components of its financial reporting, including revaluation adjustments and policy-related balances, require technical interpretation that may not be immediately apparent without proper accounting context. It stressed that misunderstanding these elements can easily lead to incorrect conclusions about its overall financial health.
Reaffirming its commitment to transparency and accountability, the central bank urged stakeholders and the public to rely on verified data and professional analysis when engaging with its financial reports. It also indicated its readiness to provide further clarifications where necessary to avoid misinformation.
The development adds to ongoing debates between the Minority and financial authorities over public sector accounting and fiscal reporting, with both sides continuing to present differing interpretations of official data.
