The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) brought its annual celebration of public enterprise excellence to the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra on Thursday, March 19, 2026, with the fifth edition of the Public Enterprises League Table (PELT) & Awards. The ceremony brought together governing boards, chief executives, policymakers, and key stakeholders to recognise outstanding performance across Ghana’s Specified Entities for the 2024 calendar year.
The PELT initiative is central to SIGA’s broader mandate of embedding a culture of good corporate governance across the state enterprise sector. The scheme recognises institutions that demonstrate outstanding commitment to compliance, transparent reporting, efficiency, and innovation, while holding underperforming entities accountable through targeted performance improvement reforms. In doing so, PELT serves as both a celebration of excellence and a mechanism for driving measurable change across Ghana’s public enterprise landscape.
The Precious Minerals Marketing Company (PMMC), now operating as Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), emerged as the standout performer of the evening, securing three of the ceremony’s most coveted honours. PMMC was named State-Owned Enterprise of the Year, the highest individual accolade in the SOE category, and further distinguished itself with the Most Profitable State-Owned Enterprise award before claiming the biggest prize of the night, the Overall Best Specified Entity. The three honours collectively reflect the institution’s strong financial performance, operational discipline, and strategic importance to Ghana’s minerals sector in the 2024 financial year.
The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) also had a standout evening, claiming two major awards: Other State Entity (OSE) of the Year and Most Financially Sustainable OSE. The Agency’s recognition reflects tangible improvements in its regulatory operations, revenue management, and institutional efficiency, areas SIGA considers critical benchmarks for entities that do not derive income from commercial activity in the traditional sense.
Among State-Owned Enterprises, TDC Ghana Limited reinforced its reputation for organisational discipline, winning both the Most Compliant SOE award and the Most Consistent Dividend Paying SOE in terms of frequency. The Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) was recognised as the Most Innovative SOE for its digital transformation drive and improvements in customer-facing services, while Ghana Reinsurance PLC was honoured as the Most Consistent Dividend Paying SOE in terms of quantum, acknowledging its steady and material contributions to national revenue.
Other notable performers included the Ghana Maritime Authority, adjudged Most Innovative OSE, and the Ghana Highway Authority, which received the Most Efficient OSE award. The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) earned the Most Compliant OSE award, affirming its strong record of statutory reporting adherence and regulatory governance.
