Vice-President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enhancing the performance and accountability of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) under the economic reset agenda today while attending the 2026 Stakeholder Conference hosted by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA).
Because they manage important national assets, produce income, and create jobs, SOEs continue to be vital pillars of Ghana’s growth.
The Vice-President did point out that ongoing issues including operational inefficiencies, monetary losses, and lax accountability still put strain on the public coffers.
She highlighted that the Ministry of Finance, working with SIGA, is leading continuing reforms that are aimed at strengthening corporate governance, enforcing performance contracts, increasing transparency, and guaranteeing financial sustainability throughout the industry.
To improve performance and direct strategic investments, a thorough evaluation of the State’s equity portfolio is also in progress.
The Vice-President went on to emphasise the Public Enterprises League Table’s (PELT) importance in advancing transparency, benchmarking performance, and fostering continuous development. This year’s PELT Awards
are scheduled to honour achievement in the industry.
Reiterating the government’s aim, she emphasised that high-performing and well-run public businesses are crucial to lowering fiscal risks and promoting national growth, ultimately turning SOEs into engines of shared prosperity.
