Financial irregularities across five key sectors of Ghana's public sector fell by 62.9% in 2025, according to Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Nyarko Ampem. The total value of financial infractions decreased from around GH¢20.72 billion in 2024 to GH¢7.69 billion in 2025, marking an impressive reduction of approximately GH¢13.03 billion.

The decrease is attributed to stricter internal controls, closure of loopholes, and improved compliance with financial management procedures. The Deputy Minister emphasized the importance of sustained attention to public financial management to achieve such significant results.
