    BOST Reports GHS 684 Million Profit Amidst NPA Bill Debate

    Ghana's Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST) recorded a profit of GHS 683.96 million in 2025, a 72% increase from the previous year. This financial improvement has intensified discussions around the proposed National Petroleum Authority (NPA) Bill, 2026. A policy think tank, the Institute for Economic Research and Public Policy (IERPP), warns the Bill could weaken BOST's ability to manage strategic fuel reserves and infrastructure. They argue the legislation might transfer too much control to the NPA and the sector minister, potentially undermining BOST's critical role in national fuel security.

This is part of the central bank's ongoing strategy to manage liquidity and support its monetary policy goals, ensuring financial stability without directly affecting government borrowing.
