Ghana has recorded a 55.9 per cent increase in profit after tax to GHS7.8 billion for the 2025 financial year, buoyed by strong growth in data and mobile money services.
The telecommunications giant’s performance reflects sustained expansion in its core business segments, with service revenue rising significantly year-on-year. Growth was largely driven by increased data consumption, expanding digital services, and continued uptake of mobile financial solutions. The company also announced an ambitious US$1.1 billion capital expenditure plan over the next three years aimed at strengthening network infrastructure, expanding coverage, and enhancing service quality nationwide. The investment is expected to fund upgrades in network capacity, improve connectivity in underserved communities, and support growing demand for high-speed data services.
Chief Executive Officer Stephen Blewett said the investment underscores the company’s commitment to delivering superior customer experience and sustaining long-term growth in Ghana’s evolving telecommunications landscape. He noted that the company’s strategy remains focused on network resilience, digital innovation, and financial inclusion, particularly through its mobile money platform. In line with the strong financial performance, the Board has proposed an increased final dividend payout to shareholders, signaling confidence in the company’s balance sheet and future earnings potential.
MTN Ghana’s subscriber base continued to expand during the year, with growth recorded in both voice and data segments, while active data users rose significantly as digital adoption deepened across the country.
The company, a subsidiary of MTN Group, remains the market leader in Ghana’s telecommunications sector and says it is positioning itself to meet rising demand for digital connectivity and fintech services.
With the new investment programme, MTN Ghana is seeking to consolidate its leadership position while supporting Ghana’s broader digital transformation agenda.
