Ghana Publishing Company Posts GH¢16.96m Profit in 2025

The Ghana Publishing Company Limited has recorded its strongest financial performance in recent years, posting a profit after tax of GH¢16.96 million for the year ended December 2025.

This marks a sharp turnaround from the GH¢2.23 million profit recorded in 2024, driven by nearly 20% revenue growth and strict expenditure controls.

According to the company’s audited report, total revenue rose from GH¢60.78 million in 2024 to GH¢72.85 million in 2025. The single largest source of income came from the printing and publication of gazettes, which generated GH¢50.64 million, up almost 48 percent from the previous year.

The introduction of a revamped gazette with enhanced security features and a new 24‑hour express option boosted demand and curbed the circulation of fake documents.

Under the leadership of Managing Director Nana Kwasi Boatey Esq., the company implemented stringent cost‑containment measures.

Total expenditure fell from GH¢57 million in 2024 to GH¢53 million in 2025.

Administrative expenses dropped by more than 35%, from GH¢11.09 million to GH¢7.16 million.

Other operational costs, including hotel, subscription, and medical expenses, recorded declines of over 70 percent.

Financial Impact

Gross profit surged nearly 50 percent, from GH¢23.38 million in 2024 to GH¢35.01 million in 2025.

Operating profit rose dramatically from GH¢2.95 million to GH¢19.58 million.

After accounting for an income tax expense of GH¢4.48 million, the company closed the year with its highest net profit in recent history.

Industry observers describe the performance as a major rebound for the state‑owned enterprise. The company’s total assets also grew by 27%, from GH¢107 million to GH¢135 million, reinforcing confidence in its long‑term sustainability.
