MTN Ghana has reported a 44.4% year-on-year increase in the value of Mobile Money transactions for the first half of 2026. The company plans to invest US$1.1 billion over three years to expand its network infrastructure and digital services across Ghana.
MTN Ghana’s General Manager for Southern Ghana, David Gyimah Boadi, said the investment is intended to improve network capacity, service quality and infrastructure resilience.
MTN Ghana also reported growth in its financial performance for the first half of 2026, with service revenue reaching GHS 15 billion, representing a 32.3% increase. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation rose by 47.1% to GHS 9.3 billion, while profit after tax increased by 46.8% to GHS 5.1 billion.
The company said it was strengthening security measures and customer education to address fraud risks associated with the growing use of digital financial services.
MTN Ghana is providing tailored products for small and medium-sized enterprises, including specialised voice bundles and digital payment solutions. The company is also expanding fibre broadband services and investing in education, healthcare and digital skills development.
The MTN Ghana Foundation commissioned and handed over an Accident and Emergency Centre valued at GHS 15.4 million to the Ho Teaching Hospital in March 2026.
MTN Ghana’s investment in network expansion and digital services is expected to have a positive impact on the Ghanaian economy, particularly in the areas of financial inclusion and digital connectivity. The company’s plans to deploy 500 new network sites across Ghana in 2026 will help to improve network capacity and service quality, benefiting both individuals and businesses.
According to David Gyimah Boadi, the investment is a testament to MTN Ghana’s commitment to driving Ghana’s digital infrastructure and economy. The company’s efforts to strengthen security measures and customer education will also help to address fraud risks associated with the growing use of digital financial services.
