MTN Ghana reported a record GHS10.5 billion in direct and indirect taxes paid to the state in 2025, representing a 22.6 percent increase over the GHS8.6 billion paid in 2024. An additional GHS0.5 billion was also paid in fees, levies, and other statutory obligations. In 2025 alone, the company committed approximately GHS6.4 billion in capital expenditure to expand network coverage and improve service quality nationwide.

The expansion includes plans to build 500 new network sites in 2026 to address connectivity gaps. The Mobile Money (MoMo) platform has grown to serve over 19 million active users. There were over 923,000 registered agents as of late 2025, about 423,000 of whom are actively engaged in daily operations. The MTN Ghana Foundation has invested over GHS100 million in 178 projects across the country. In education, the Foundation awarded 500 scholarships in 2025 to support students and teachers. The Foundation's "Save a Life" initiative has collected over 46,000 units of blood.
