Lawyer Yaw Appiah Lartey has urged the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA) to separate commercial entities from public-service institutions in its reporting, arguing that combining them distorts the overall assessment of state-owned entities' financial performance. He noted that about 90% of entities covered by SIGA's report are engaged in commercial activities, while roughly 10% are public-service institutions, and that commercial and public-service entities should be evaluated on different criteria.

Deloitte has commended the government for encouraging domestic revenue mobilization in the Mid-Year Budget Review, noting that non-oil tax revenue increased from 12.6% of GDP in 2024 to 13.1% in 2025, driven by improved compliance and administrative efficiency rather than higher tax rates.
