" Energy Minister praises BOST; calls on SOEs to grow profit to support Gov\u2019t\u2019s fiscal policies \r\n\r\nMinister for Energy, Mathew Opoku Prempeh, has said BOST\u2019s success of recording a net profit of GHS 342m in 2022, a 112% increase in profit when compared to the GHS 161m net profit recorded in 2021, contributes to the fiscal policies of the government and supports our national growth and development agenda.\r\n\r\nCommending the Management and staff of BOST for achieving an impressive 113% increase in profit during the Annual General Meeting of the company, Mr Opoku Prempeh noted it is his expectation that other State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) will learn from the BOST story and replicate the company\u2019s performance.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe remarkable performance of BOST reinforces my firm belief that State-Owned Enterprises can generate profits, pay dividends and make significant contributions to the government\u2019s fiscal policies with the right leadership, attitude and balance.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cThis, I believe will ensure that government can effectively execute its flagship programs using revenues generated by its SOEs. The BOST model should serve as an exemplary example for all SOEs,\u201d he stated.\r\n\r\nAside growing its net profit from GHS 161m in 2021 to GHS 342m in 2022, BOST\u00a0 has also transitioned from a negative equity position of (GHS 248,190,799) in 2021 to a positive equity position of (GHS 86,466,542) in 2022.\r\n\r\nThe positive equity position of BOST, now places the company on a sound footing to enable the company pay dividends to the government.\r\n\r\nSpeaking further at the AGM, the Minister noted that the BOST Margin saw an upward revision from 7 to 9 pesewas per litre in 2022, facilitating the commissioning and initiation of major works.\r\n\r\nThese include the;\r\n\r\n\u2219 Commissioning and operationalization of the\r\n\r\nTema-Akosombo-Petroleum Pipeline.\r\n\r\n\u2219 Completion of the Kumasi Rehabilitation\r\n\r\nProject.\r\n\r\n\u2219 Repair and commissioning of tanks at Accra\r\n\r\nPlains Depot (APD).\r\n\r\n\u2219 Construction of Bulk Road Vehicles (BRVs)\r\n\r\npark at Accra Plains Depot.\r\n\r\n\u2219 Completion of Tema-Kumasi Pipeline Front\r\n\r\nEnd Engineering Design (FEED)."
