  1. NPP, NDC dispute Bank of Ghana loss interpretation

    The opposition NPP and governing NDC are locked in dispute over the 2025 Bank of Ghana audited financial statements, with disagreement over whether losses should be counted as GH¢15.6 billion (the operating loss, as the government maintains) or GH¢34.9 billion (combining the operating loss with GH¢19.32 billion in Other Comprehensive Income, as the Minority argues).

  1. Ofoase-Ayirebi MP claims BoG loss totals GH¢34.9bn, BoG disputes

    Kojo Oppong Nkrumah says the Bank of Ghana's latest statement confirms the Minority Caucus' claim of a GH¢34.9 billion comprehensive loss in 2025, combining the central bank's GH¢15.63 billion operating loss with a GH¢19.32 billion Other Comprehensive Income adjustment. The Bank of Ghana disputes this, saying the figure wrongly combines operating and non-operating items.

  1. Majority defends Bank of Ghana's 2025 financial statements

  1. Minority says BoG policy worsened losses to GH¢44 billion

    The Minority Caucus in Parliament released an analysis of the Bank of Ghana's 2025 audited financial statements, arguing that bad policy decisions significantly worsened the central bank's financial position, partly contributing to an estimated underlying loss of about GH¢44 billion. Although the BoG officially reported a headline loss of GH¢15.6 billion, the Minority argues this figure understates the true economic cost when additional losses in Other Comprehensive Income and one-off gains from gold sales are adjusted for.

  2. Parliament split over Bank of Ghana gold sale and surplus claim

    The Minority caucus claims the Bank of Ghana's reported GH¢5.5 billion surplus is misleading because it depends on a GH¢9.6 billion one-off gain from gold sales, and argues excluding that gain would leave a GH¢4 billion deficit. The Majority caucus rejects this as a misreading of the financial statements and says the Minority is creating unnecessary public alarm.
