The turnaround represents an improvement of approximately GH¢188.03 million and was largely driven by a 52.9 percent increase in revenue, surpassing the 18.6 percent growth in expenditure.

Income from Communication Service Tax increased by 27.5 percent from GH¢472.13 million in 2024 to GH¢602.01 million in 2025.

GETFund receipts also hiked up by 159.7 percent from GH¢115.50 million to GH¢300 million.

The report, however, disclosed that staff-related costs of the agency recorded a sharp increase while compensation of employees saw an increment of 79.6 percent from GH¢103.28 million in 2024 to GH¢185.48 million in 2025, thereby increasing its share of total expenditure from 15.4 percent to 23.4 percent.

The YEA’s surplus margin, also according to the report, improved from negative 13.13 percent in 2024 to a positive 12.23 percent in 2025, meaning for every GH¢1.00 of revenue generated in 2025, the agency spent approximately GH¢0.88 compared with GH¢1.13 spent for every GH¢1.00 earned in 2024.
