The State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) has published the 2025 State Ownership Report (SOR), the tenth edition of Ghana’s flagship account of the performance of its Specified Entities, and the fifth published by SIGA since the Authority’s establishment in 2019.
The report covers 162 of the 175 approved Specified Entities, comprising 53 State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), 36 Joint Venture Companies (JVCs), and 73 Other State Entities (OSEs). It offers a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the financial and operational performance of the state-owned sector, and serves as a vital resource for policymakers, stakeholders, and the public in shaping the future of Ghana’s SOEs, JVCs, and OSEs.
Speaking on the significance of this year’s report, Prof. Michael Kpessa-Whyte, Director-General of SIGA, noted that the 2025 edition holds particular importance as it captures a pivotal moment in the nation’s governance timeline.
“This edition is significant because it documents the performance of Specified Entities for the first year of President Mahama’s second administration,” Prof. Kpessa-Whyte said. “It gives a full picture of how these Specified Entities are contributing to the broader economic reset agenda, and it will help drive meaningful dialogue around the future of our State-Owned Enterprises, Joint Venture Companies and Other State Entities, ensuring they fulfil their potential as catalysts for economic growth and development.”

SIGA invites the Ghanaian public, the media, investors, and all stakeholders to read the report and take an active interest in how their collective investments, held in trust through the country’s Specified Entities, are being managed and are performing on their behalf.
