GACL received GHS 43m COVID-19 support in 2020

The Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) received some GHC 43.4 million financial support to cover payroll expenditure and help mitigate adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the 2020 State Ownership Report published by the Ministry of Finance has revealed.

The airports operator was part of eight specified entities that requested for financial support to cover their overhead in the year in review. Seven out of the eight SOEs received financial support.

“Five (5) Specified Entities—two comprising three (3) SOEs and two (2) JVCs– were given direct Government support amounting to GH¢72.6 million.

“Two (2) other Entities, both SOEs, were granted no-objection to borrow on their own balance sheets to the tune of GH¢54.90 million,” the report noted.

The GACL was one of the few state-owned entities capable of sourcing for funds on the back of its own balance sheet few years ago.

However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, heavily negatively impacted financial fortunes of the company; forcing it to turn to central government for support.
