The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) reported an 18% increase in revenue for 2025, totaling over GH¢228 million. The Director-General, Professor George Agyei, attributed this financial growth to disciplined resource management. At their Annual Stakeholders meeting in Accra, Agyei highlighted the Authority's expansion in testing, calibration, and verification activities.
The GSA verified 242,764 weights, measures, and weighing instruments, marking a 6% increase from the previous year. Additionally, they calibrated 26,091 instruments, surpassing their target by 25%. Testing 28,375 product samples, the Authority exceeded its targets by 31% and 22% compared to 2024. These efforts aimed at ensuring consumer protection and maintaining product quality in Ghana and export markets.
However, the Authority fell short in developing 40% of the 426 standards targeted for the year. Agyei emphasized the necessity of strengthening Ghana’s quality infrastructure and called for stakeholders' expertise to bridge this gap. The Deputy Director-General in charge of Operations, Dr. Awal Mohammed, stressed that the GSA's performance is crucial for supporting industry, protecting consumers, and facilitating trade.
