Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has laid four major accountability reports before Parliament, covering energy sector levies, petroleum revenues, public debt, and public-private partnerships for the 2025 financial year.
The reports, submitted in line with statutory requirements, are expected to give lawmakers and the public a clearer picture of how key public funds were managed and spent last year.
The reports tabled include:
Annual Report on the Management of the Energy Sector Levies and Accounts for 2025 – Details the collection and disbursement of levies meant to support energy sector operations, debt payments, and related infrastructure.
Reconciliation Report on the Petroleum Holding Fund for 2025 – Outlines inflows from petroleum revenue, allocations to the Annual Budget Funding Amount, Ghana Stabilisation Fund, and Ghana Heritage Fund, and reconciles discrepancies.
Annual Public Debt Management Report for the 2025 Financial Year – Provides data on Ghana’s public debt stock, borrowing activities, debt service payments, and the government’s debt sustainability outlook.
Annual Report on Public-Private Partnership Projects for 2025 – Reviews the status, performance, and fiscal commitments of PPP projects across sectors, including transport, energy, and infrastructure.
Tabling the reports is part of government’s obligation under the Public Financial Management Act and related laws to enhance transparency and oversight of public resources.
Parliament’s Finance Committee is expected to review the documents and report back with observations and recommendations.
Analysts say the reports will be closely watched for insights into debt trajectory, petroleum revenue management, and the performance of PPP projects amid Ghana’s ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts.
