This marks a remarkable 49.5% increase in tax contributions year-on-year, highlighting the company’s expanding fiscal role in Ghana.
Despite facing economic challenges, MTN Ghana reported an impressive 32% year-on-year growth in service revenue, reaching GHS 12.7 billion. This growth was driven by strong performances in data and Mobile Money (MoMo) services.

MTN’s data revenue saw a notable increase of 53.4%, largely due to a 17.3% expansion in active data subscribers. MoMo services also surged by 50.8%, reflecting the company’s successful push in fintech solutions.
The company invested heavily in network expansion, with a capital expenditure of GHS 3.7 billion to improve service delivery.
