  "summary": "The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) accounted for GH¢82.31 billion of the total liabilities held by Ghana's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the 2025 financial year, according to the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA). The report, released on Sunday, August 30, 2026, also disclosed that the combined liabilities of SOEs declined by 4.31 percent to GH¢281.99 billion in 2025. SIGA warned that despite an overall improvement in the state-owned sector, significant financial risks remained concentrated in a small number of entities, with ECG among five SOEs that recorded losses from 2021 to 2025.",
