LGA commends State-Owned Enterprises for recording strong 2025 performance

The Legal Green Association (LGA) has praised the government, the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) for their notable performance improvements in 2025. In a statement, LGA leader Festus Matey and Head of Politics and Elections Evans Mawunyo Tsikata highlighted the progress in public-sector performance, financial management, and efficiency.

SOEs reported a consolidated net profit after tax of GH¢19.80 billion in 2025, up from a net loss of GH¢2.25 billion in the previous year. Total SOE revenue also rose by 28.12%, from GH¢137.64 billion in 2024 to GH¢176.43 billion in 2025. The LGA welcomed growth in agriculture, manufacturing, and infrastructure, reductions in finance costs, and improved foreign exchange performance.

It also commended SIGA for enhancing oversight, monitoring, and governance. However, the association emphasized that these improvements should lead to better outcomes for Ghanaians, particularly through job creation, especially for the youth. The LGA urged SIGA to maintain performance assessments and take legal action against entities failing to meet obligations.

Concerns were raised about ongoing losses at some state entities, and the LGA called for interventions like restructuring, recapitalization, partnerships, or liquidation when appropriate. The association stressed that successful outcomes should become lasting improvements rather than temporary gains.
