BoG postpone launch of cedi’s 60th Anniversary after helicopter crash

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has announced that it has postponed the National launch of the cedi’s 60th Anniversary programme on Friday, August 8.

According to a statement issued by the Bank, this is due to the tragic death of five prominent Government Officials and three members of the Ghana Armed Forces in a military helicopter crash which occurred on Wednesday.

BoG was on Friday, August 8, supposed to launch the Cedi @60 Anniversary activities at the Accra International Conference Centre.

But the Bank of Ghana, in a statement, maintained that “we regret to announce that the launch has been postponed.”

The Bank “extends its deepest condolences to His Excellency the President of the Republic, the Government and People of Ghana and the families of the departed.”

It added that “The Bank appreciates the understanding and cooperation of all its stakeholders and the general public during this period of national mourning.”
