The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) reported a substantial increase of 18 percent in its revenue to GH¢228 million in 2025, as Director-General Professor George Agyei disclosed at the 2025 Annual Stakeholders’ Meeting (ASM) in Accra. This rise was achieved by verifying 242,764 weights, measures and weighing instruments, surpassing calibration targets.
The GSA also exceeded targets for testing product samples and industrial instruments, with 28,375 samples tested and 26,091 instruments calibrated, reflecting the Authority's commitment to quality assurance and consumer protection. Despite these successes, Professor Agyei acknowledged ongoing challenges in developing standards, noting that only 40 percent of 426 targeted standards were finalized.
He called for stakeholder contributions to bridge this gap. The GSA will host the 33rd General Assembly of the African Organisation for Standardisation in Accra in July 2027 during its 50th anniversary celebration. Stakeholders emphasized the necessity of reliable standards, testing, and certification systems for Ghana's industrial transformation and export ambitions in its 24-hour economy.
