  "account": "MTN Ghana has announced that the interim dividend payment date for the third quarter of 2026 is set for December 10, 2026. This information is based on their Q3 2026 financial report. The dividend will be automatically deposited into shareholders' bank accounts or mobile money wallets. The Board of MTN Ghana declared a gross interim dividend of GH¢0.03 per share for the period ending September 30, 2026. All dividends are subject to applicable taxes. As of the date of this declaration, there are 13,236,175,050 ordinary shares in issue. Shareholders registered with Scancom PLC (MTN Ghana) as of November 26, 2026, will be eligible for the dividend. The ex-dividend date is set for November 24, 2026. Consequently, an investor who purchases MTN Ghana shares before this date will receive the dividend. However, an investor buying shares on or after November 26, 2026, will not be entitled to the dividend. MTN Ghana reported a profit of GH¢7.7 billion in the third quarter of 2026, which is a 42.0% increase compared to the same period in 2025.",
