  "account": "In 2025, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) experienced a substantial surge in its financial performance, with total revenue soaring by 43.09% to reach GH¢819.50 million. This upward trend in revenue was primarily fueled by a 38.40% increase in internally generated funds (IGF), a sharp 332.11% growth in finance income, and a 19.22% rise in other income. The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) reported that the NPA's surplus expanded by a remarkable 75.89% to a record GH¢447.19 million, more than doubling the surplus of GH¢254.24 million from the previous year. Despite an 17.61% increase in administrative expenses and a modest 4.15% rise in operating expenses, the NPA's robust revenue growth enabled it to significantly bolster its financial position in 2025.",
  "summary": "The National Petroleum Authority (NPA) recorded a strong financial performance in 2025, with total revenue increasing by 43.09% from GH¢572.71 million in 2024 to GH¢819.50 million, according to the 2025 State Ownership Report.",
