State Owned Enterprises Not Attractive to be Listed on Stock Exchange now-  Minister

State Owned Enterprises Not Attractive to be Listed on Stock Exchange now-  Minister 

Mr Joseph Cudjoe, Minister for Public Enterprises, has indicated that Government is working to turn around State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) before they are listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE).

Mr Joseph Cudjoe made this known in reaction to proposals that SOEs should be listed on the stock market to encourage private sector participation and improve their performances. The Minister moreover asserted that it is the priority of the Government to first make the entities profitable to attract investors.

“…When I hear some people say, put them [SOEs] on the Stock Exchange, they jump the first question. Have you made them attractive such that when you are listing on the stock exchange, the public as investors will buy their shares?

“We should be mindful of the fact that we have to turn around the companies that are meant for listing and then when they attain profitability and the shares are put on the stock market, people will invest.”

Joseph Cudjoe

Meanwhile, the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) has shortlisted 11 SOEs for listing on the GSE.

The enterprises shortlisted include the Ghana Rubber Estates Limited, the Twifo Oil Palm Plantation, the Ghana National Gas Company Ltd, the Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited, the Ghana Reinsurance Co. Ltd and SIC Life.

The rest are the PSC Tema Shipyard, the State Housing Company Ltd, the TDC Company Limited, GHACEM and GIHOC Distilleries Ltd.

Improvement in Performance of SOEs

Mr Cudjoe averred that since 2017, there have been a significant improvement in the performance of Specified Entities (SEs), comprising SOEs, Joint Venture Companies (JVCs) and Other State entities (OSEs) operating in various sectors of the economy.

The Minister stated that in the 2020 Financial Year, a total of 177 SEs, made up of 51 SOEs, 44 JVCs and 82 OSEs recorded a combined revenue of GHS130.9 billion and a net profit of GHS12 billion, with a total asset of GHS417.7 billion.

“Per the 2020 State Ownership Report, the State Entities employed 76,949 people, representing 24.9 per cent of the total public sector employment of 309,000.”

“There has also been an improvement in Financial Reporting and Compliance. In 2020, 132 entities submitted their financial reports as compared to 18 in 2016. We will keep moving until we achieve 100 per cent updated reporting so that management decisions can be made.”

Joseph Cudjoe

Mr Joseph Cudjoe noted that though SOEs recorded a combined loss of GHS 2.6 billion in the 2020 Financial Year, there have been a reduction in the losses as compared to the GHS 5.16 billion net loss that was recorded in 2019.

Mr Cudjoe, therefore, appealed to the media to highlight the gains of some of the SOEs that are performing well to erode the impression that all SOEs are making losses.

“As we get excited by the loss-making and always focusing on that, performance isn’t one-direction thing. Those that are doing well must be applauded and in that case when they are encouraged, those that are lagging behind in performance will be motivated.”
