Vice-President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang today participated in the 2026 Stakeholder Conference organised by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), reaffirming Government’s commitment to strengthening the performance and accountability of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) under the economic reset agenda.
SOEs remain critical pillars of Ghana’s development, managing significant national assets, generating revenue, and providing employment. However, the Vice-President noted that persistent challenges such as operational inefficiencies, financial losses, and weak accountability continue to place pressure on public finances.
She emphasised that ongoing reforms, spearheaded by the Ministry of Finance in collaboration with SIGA, are focused on enhancing corporate governance, enforcing performance contracts, improving transparency, and ensuring financial sustainability across the sector. A comprehensive review of the State’s equity portfolio is also underway to strengthen performance and guide strategic investments.
The Vice-President further highlighted the role of the Public Enterprises League Table (PELT) in promoting transparency, benchmarking performance, and driving continuous improvement, with this year’s PELT Awards set to recognise excellence within the sector.
Reaffirming Government’s vision, she stressed that well-governed and high-performing public enterprises are essential to reducing fiscal risks and advancing national development, ultimately transforming SOEs into engines of shared prosperity.
