As both regulator and facilitator, the SEC has remained steadfast in safeguarding market integrity while enabling innovation and growth, ensuring that the capital market continues to serve as an efficient conduit for long-term financing. Central to our approach has been a deliberate and sustained DR. ADU ANANE ANTWI CHAIRMAN It is my honour to present the Annual Report of the SEC for the year under review. The period was marked by measured recovery and renewed resilience within Ghana’s financial markets and economy, following the significant macroeconomic adjustments and financial sector realignments of recent years. Through coordinated policy interventions, fiscal consolidation efforts, and the gradual restoration of market confidence, the economy has begun to stabilise, laying the foundation for a more sustainable and resilient growth trajectory. effort to rebuild and deepen investor confidence, particularly in the aftermath of market dislocations and restructuring exercises. The emphasis on trust and transparency is fundamental, not only to the stability of the financial system, but also to the broader objective of positioning the capital market as a catalyst for inclusive, sustainable, and private sector-led economic transformation. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Annual Report & Financial Statements 5 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA 2025 Economic Dynamics In 2025, Ghana’s economy exhibited firm macroeconomic stabilisation, with real GDP growth of 6.0 percent, driven by services and agriculture. Disinflation gained notable traction, albeit within a still-fragile recovery context, as headline inflation declined to 5.4 percent, supported by a sustained tight monetary policy stance by the Bank of Ghana, exchange rate appreciation, and ongoing fiscal consolidation. Strengthened external buffers further reinforced macroeconomic resilience and contributed to a gradual restoration of investor confidence. Capital markets performance mirrored this recovery momentum. The GSE recorded a strong rally, with the GSE Composite Index advancing by 79.4 percent, while the GSE Financial Stocks Index surged by 95.2 percent, driven by renewed demand for financial equities. Market capitalisation expanded by 54.5 percent to GH¢172.04 billion, indicating a sharp re-rating of listed securities. The fixed income market demonstrated a decisive recovery, with cumulative trade volumes reaching GH¢245.85 billion, driven by improved liquidity conditions, yield compression, and the progressive restoration of market depth in the aftermath of the 2023 debt restructuring exercise. Contrariwise, activity on the Ghana Commodity Exchange moderated, with declines in traded volumes and values driven by weak demand conditions and supply-side constraints. Notwithstanding these divergences, the regulatory landscape continued to deepen, with the number of licenced market operators increasing to 306 (FY2024: 299) signalling gradual expansion and formalisation of the market ecosystem. In 2025, Ghana’s economy exhibited firm macroeconomic stabilisation, with real GDP growth 6.0% of 6.0 percent, driven by services and agriculture. Regulating the Digital Frontier: Operationalising Ghana’s Virtual Asset Framework In response to the rapid proliferation of digital financial assets and their attendant implications for market integrity and systemic stability, the SEC, in collaboration with the Bank of Ghana, facilitated the enactment of the Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Act, 2025 (Act 1154). This landmark legislation establishes a coherent, risk-sensitive, and forward-looking regulatory architecture for Ghana’s virtual asset ecosystem, anchored in international best practice, particularly the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards on AML/CFT. The framework enhances legal certainty, strengthens supervisory oversight, and reinforces investor protection, whilst enabling responsible innovation within a controlled regulatory perimeter. Subsequent to its enactment, the SEC has advanced the operationalisation of the regime through the development of subsidiary regulations, licensing frameworks, and prudential, governance, and risk management standards calibrated to the unique risk profile of virtual asset activities. Institutional capacity has been further strengthened through the establishment of a dedicated FinTech Unit, supported by an inter-departmental Digital Assets Committee to drive policy coordination, technical design, and implementation oversight.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 6 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Concurrently, the SEC is refining its regulatory sandbox framework to accommodate virtual asset innovations, with revised Sandbox Guidelines scheduled for Board consideration and issuance in the first quarter of 2026. Complementary stakeholder engagement and capacity-building initiatives have been intensified to enhance supervisory readiness and inter-agency coordination, particularly in addressing emerging risks relating to market conduct, consumer protection, cybersecurity, and financial integrity. These interventions position Ghana’s capital market to harness the transformative potential of digital assets within a robust, transparent, and resilient regulatory environment. Recalibrating the Legal Framework for Market Advancement As part of its broader regulatory reform agenda, the Commission continued the review of the Securities Industry Act, 2016 (Act 929). During the year, extensive stakeholder consultations were undertaken with capital market operators, financial sector co￾regulators, the Ministry of Finance, and the Attorney￾General’s Department. These engagements have been instrumental in shaping a forward-looking legislative overhaul aimed at addressing structural gaps, strengthening regulatory effectiveness, and transitioning toward a more principle-based supervisory framework. The reform process is also geared toward aligning Ghana’s regulatory architecture with international best practices, with particular emphasis on meeting the requirements for accession to the International Organisation of Securities Commissions’ Enhanced Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (EMMoU). Achieving this milestone will significantly enhance cross-border supervisory cooperation, reinforce market integrity, and support the strategic objective of advancing Ghana’s capital market from a frontier to an emerging market classification. Modernising Post-Trade Infrastructure for Market Efficiency As financial systems continue to grow in complexity, the imperative to build technologically advanced market infrastructure becomes increasingly critical to safeguarding As part of its broader regulatory reform agenda, the Commission continued the review of the Securities Industry Act, 2016 (Act 929). During the year, extensive stakeholder consultations were undertaken with capital market operators, financial sector co￾regulators, the Ministry of Finance, and the Attorney-General’s Department.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 7 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA stability and sustaining investor confidence. In this regard, significant strides were made in strengthening post-trade arrangements within Ghana. During the year, the SEC approved the Central Securities Depository (CSD) Rules, establishing a regulatory framework governing securities safekeeping, transfers, participant admission, settlement processes, and risk management. This milestone coincided with the successful deployment of CSD’s new post-trade infrastructure platform. The platform delivers a fully integrated, end-to-end digital architecture, consolidating depository, settlement, and auction management functions into a unified system, thereby enhancing operational efficiency, security, and systemic resilience. Key features include a real-time investor portal, interoperability with global SWIFT standards, specifically ISO 15022 and ISO 20022, and seamless integration with the Ghana Stock Exchange to support accelerated settlement cycles. The approval of the CSD Rules and the implementation of this advanced platform represent a step-change in post-trade infrastructure, strengthening market integrity and aligning Ghana’s capital market systems with international best practices. Enhancing Market Integrity and Deepening Investor Confidence through Regulatory Engagement and Financial Literacy In furtherance of efforts to reinforce the resilience and integrity of Ghana’s capital market, the SEC sustained a calibrated mix of regulatory, supervisory, and market development interventions aimed at strengthening market conduct, enhancing systemic safeguards, and deepening investor protection. These measures, implemented within the context of post-debt exchange market normalisation, were designed to consolidate financial stability, restore market confidence, and support sustainable capital formation. The SEC also intensified its investor education mandate through expanded nationwide outreach. In July 2025, the flagship Time with the SEC programme was held in Ho, extending engagement into the Volta Region. Together with the Koforidua edition, the initiative reached over 5,500 stakeholders, including students, public and civil servants, informal sector operators, law enforcement personnel, and retail investors. These engagements provided structured guidance on investment decision-making, regulatory safeguards, and the identification and avoidance of fraudulent schemes. Complementing these physical forums, the Commission broadened its educational footprint through regular newsletter publications and active dissemination across social media platforms, thereby enhancing real-time access to regulatory information and investor awareness content. By institutionalising a multi-channel approach to investor education, combining direct stakeholder engagement with sustained digital and publication-driven outreach, the initiative strengthened informational symmetry, improved market discipline, and contributed meaningfully to the reinforcement of public trust, market transparency, and investor confidence within Ghana’s evolving capital market architecture. SEC’s Strategic Readiness and Technical Contribution to Ghana’s GIABA Mutual Evaluation Demonstrating our commitment to combating financial crime and aligning with international regulatory standards, the SEC undertook a series of targeted preparatory interventions in readiness for Ghana’s Third Round Mutual Evaluation under the Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) framework. These interventions were anchored on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) 40 Recommendations and focused on strengthening the effectiveness and resilience of OVER 5,500 STAKEHOLDERS REACHED In July 2025, the flagship Time with the SEC programme was held in Ho, extending engagement into the Volta Region. Together with the Koforidua edition, the initiative reached over 5,500 stakeholders, including students, public and civil servants, informal sector operators, law enforcement personnel, and retail investors. These engagements provided structured guidance on investment decision-making, regulatory safeguards, and the identification and avoidance of fraudulent schemes.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 8 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA the capital market’s AML/CFT/CPF supervisory regime. The Commission enhanced risk-based supervision across licenced market operators, reinforced compliance monitoring systems, and escalated enforcement readiness to improve the identification, reporting, and mitigation of suspicious financial activities. In addition, the SEC participated in inter-agency coordination mechanisms and technical validation sessions to ensure coherence and accuracy in sectoral submissions to the national evaluation process. Further capacity-building engagements deepened institutional understanding of FATF assessment methodologies, with emphasis on effectiveness outcomes, supervisory performance, and inter￾operability among competent authorities. These concerted efforts reflect the Commission’s proactive regulatory posture and its commitment to safeguarding market integrity, enhancing compliance effectiveness, and contributing to Ghana’s successful positioning under the mutual evaluation framework. Leveraging SupTech Innovation for Enhanced Risk-Based Market Oversight As financial markets continue to evolve in scale and complexity, the increasing volume and granularity of transactional and compliance data have necessitated the adoption of more advanced supervisory tools to support timely, data-driven regulatory decision-making. In this context, the SEC is advancing the deployment of Supervisory Technology (SupTech) and Regulatory Technology (RegTech) solutions to enhance the efficiency, precision and responsiveness of market oversight. Following the completion and operationalisation of the Risk-Based Supervisory (RBS) framework, the SEC has initiated the developmental phase of an integrated cloud-based SupTech platform. This system will leverage data analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence to strengthen surveillance capabilities, improve risk detection, and enhance supervisory prioritisation based on the risk profiles of regulated entities. The ongoing RegTech and SupTech development represents a strategic extension of the RBS framework, aimed at embedding technology￾enabled supervision into core regulatory processes. Once fully implemented, the platform is expected to significantly enhance analytical depth, improve early warning capabilities, and optimise resource allocation, thereby reinforcing the SEC’s overall supervisory effectiveness and market oversight capacity. Future Outlook: Advancing a Resilient, Innovative, and Inclusive Capital Market The continued evolution of Ghana’s capital market as a catalyst for sustainable economic growth remains central to the SEC’s strategic vision. As the market navigates a post-debt exchange recovery landscape, characterised by emerging opportunities alongside structural adjustments, the SEC remains committed to fostering a transparent, well-regulated, and resilient market ecosystem that inspires confidence among investors and issuers alike. This is underpinned by a balanced regulatory philosophy that simultaneously advances market development and strengthens supervisory oversight. In alignment with Ghana’s broader macroeconomic recovery and financial sector reforms, the SEC is advancing a forward-looking strategic roadmap anchored on deepening capital formation, broadening market participation, and enhancing product diversification. Priority initiatives include SUPTECH & REGTECH SEC is progressively advancing the deployment of Supervisory Technology (SupTech) and Regulatory Technology (RegTech) solutions to enhance the efficiency, precision and responsiveness of market oversight.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 9 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA the development of the corporate bond market, expansion of collective investment schemes, introduction of innovative financial instruments, and strengthening of market infrastructure to support efficiency and liquidity. These efforts are complemented by ongoing regulatory reforms, digital transformation initiatives, including the deployment of SupTech and RegTech solutions, and enhanced risk management frameworks to improve market integrity and operational resilience. Looking ahead, the integration of technology￾driven solutions and emerging asset classes will be critical to modernising Ghana’s capital market architecture. By leveraging innovation to improve accessibility, transparency, and efficiency, the Commission aims to unlock new investment opportunities and deepen financial inclusion. Our objective is to cultivate a dynamic, inclusive, and robust capital market capable of supporting long-term economic transformation and delivering sustainable value to all stakeholders. Organisational Restructuring for Enhanced Regulatory Effectiveness In the reporting year, the SEC approved a revised organisational structure aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening regulatory effectiveness, and aligning institutional capacity with the evolving dynamics of the capital market. The new organogram introduces clearer functional segmentation across key areas, including Markets and Surveillance, Corporate Finance, Investment Management, Legal and Enforcement, Risk Management, and Research and Market Development, supported by strengthened General Services functions such as Human Resource, Finance, and Information Technology. It further reflects a more integrated approach to emerging priorities, particularly financial stability, innovation and fintech, virtual assets, and data-driven supervision. The implementation of this new structure, scheduled to take effect in 2026, is expected to improve coordination, deepen specialisation, and enhance the SEC’s responsiveness to market developments and reinforce its mandate of investor protection, market integrity, and sustainable capital market growth. Conclusion I extend my sincere appreciation to my fellow Commissioners, and the staff of the SEC for their dedication and technical excellence in advancing our mandate during a period of market recovery and transformation. I also acknowledge the continued support of Government, particularly the Honourable Minister for Finance, as well as our market operators, investors, and stakeholders, whose confidence and engagement remain critical to the development of Ghana’s capital market. As Ghana consolidates its macroeconomic recovery, the capital market is well-positioned to play a more pivotal role in mobilising long-term capital and supporting inclusive growth. The Commission remains committed to fostering an innovative, transparent, and resilient market ecosystem, capable of meeting the evolving needs of a new generation of investors while underpinning sustainable economic development. DR. ADU ANANE ANTWI BOARD CHAIRMAN, SEC As the market navigates a post-debt exchange recovery landscape, characterised by emerging opportunities alongside structural adjustments, the SEC remains committed to fostering a transparent, well-regulated, and resilient market ecosystem that inspires confidence among investors and issuers alike.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 10 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Performance across the entire market in 2025 remained robust, reflecting improved market sentiment and stronger macroeconomic fundamentals. The equities market posted one of its strongest performances in recent decades, with the Ghana Stock Exchange Composite Index (GSE CI) rising by 79.4 percent by year-end. Financial stocks drove much of this growth, as the GSE Financial Stocks Index increased by 95 percent. Market capitalisation rose significantly by 54.5 percent to GH¢172 billion, supported by broad￾based gains across sectors. Market breadth also remained positive, with most listed equities recording price gains and signalling a strong return of investor confidence. The fixed income market also staged a strong recovery, with total trade volumes increasing 41 percent to GH¢245.85 billion. Improved liquidity, easing inflation, and a more stable currency supported this performance. Trading activity remained concentrated in short-term instruments, reflecting investors’ preference for liquidity and lower duration risk. Although government securities continued to dominate market activity, the corporate debt 03 DIRECTOR-GENERAL’S REVIEW The year 2025 marked a defining period for the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana, as the capital market demonstrated resilience, recovery, and renewed investor confidence amid improving macroeconomic conditions. Against a backdrop of easing inflation, monetary policy adjustments, and continued fiscal consolidation under the reset agenda of President Mahama, the Commission remained steadfast in its mandate to regulate and develop an efficient, fair and transparent capital market. Throughout the year, we focused on strengthening market integrity, enhancing investor protection, and positioning the capital market as a key driver of Ghana’s economic transformation. DR. JAMES KLUTSE AVEDZI DIRECTOR-GENERAL 79.4% 54.5% 41% Total trade volume increased 41 percent to GH₵245.85 billion. Market capitalisation rose significantly by 54.5 percent to GH₵172 billion The Ghana Stock Exchange Composite Index (GSE CI) rose by 79.4% by year-end.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 11 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA market expanded gradually, supported by new issuances and the growing relevance of the commercial paper market. The asset management industry also recorded strong growth, with assets under management surpassing GH¢107 billion, representing a 25.7 percent increase over the previous year. Strong equity market performance and sustained activity in fixed income securities drove this growth. Pension funds remained the dominant segment, accounting for most industry assets, while collective investment schemes, private funds, and real estate investment trusts also expanded, reflecting growing investor appetite for diversified products. During the year under review, the Commission undertook a wide range of regulatory, supervisory, and market development initiatives aimed at strengthening market integrity, enhancing investor protection, and reinforcing the resilience of Ghana’s capital market. A key priority during the year was the advancement of the regulatory reform agenda. The Commission made significant progress in reviewing the Securities Industry Act, 2016 (Act 929), and conducted extensive stakeholder consultations to ensure that the revised framework addresses structural gaps, improves supervisory effectiveness, and aligns with the best international practices. The Commission has submitted the draft bill to the Ministry of Finance, and it is expected to proceed through the necessary approval processes. In parallel, the Commission advanced several critical regulatory guidelines, including those on asset￾backed securities, market making, margin trading, and securities lending and borrowing, all intended to deepen market liquidity and broaden the range of available financial instruments. The Commission, in conjunction with the other financial sector regulators, recorded a major milestone in the regulation of digital financial assets with the passage of the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025 (Act 1154). Following its enactment, the SEC began developing supervisory guidelines to operationalise the regime. The Commission also undertook stakeholder engagements and capacity-building initiatives to support effective implementation, strengthen inter-agency coordination, and promote a secure and transparent virtual asset ecosystem. We anticipate the rollout of a comprehensive supervisory framework for the capital market in 2026. In the area of market infrastructure, the Commission approved the Central Securities Depository (CSD) Rules and supported the successful deployment of a new integrated post-trade platform. This system consolidates depository, settlement, and auction functions and is expected to improve operational efficiency, strengthen settlement processes, and align Ghana’s post-trade environment with global standards. This development represents a significant step forward in enhancing the robustness and resilience of capital market infrastructure. The Commission further intensified its supervisory and risk-mitigation efforts in response to residual vulnerabilities following the DDEP in 2022, while maintaining a strong focus on investor protection and education. We increased oversight to ensure compliance with investment guidelines, valuation standards, and disclosure requirements, and implemented targeted interventions such as enforcing recapitalisation requirements for capital market operators, continuing liquidity support mechanisms for collective investment schemes, and closely monitoring investor relief programmes. At the same time, we expanded our flagship Time The asset management industry also recorded strong growth, with assets under management surpassing GH₵107 billion, representing a 25.7 25.7% percent increase over the year.

Collectively, these measures played a critical role in stabilising the market, mitigating systemic risks, safeguarding investor interests, strengthening public awareness, improving financial literacy, and fostering greater trust in the capital market. Overall, the Commission’s activities in 2025 reflect a deliberate and coordinated effort to consolidate market recovery, strengthen regulatory and supervisory frameworks, and position the capital market to contribute more effectively to Ghana’s economic transformation. The outlook for 2026 remains cautiously optimistic, supported by improving macroeconomic conditions, ongoing financial sector reforms, and strengthening investor confidence. While residual risks from the DDEP and global economic uncertainties remain, the Commission expects market conditions to continue stabilising, supported by targeted policy interventions and sustained regulatory oversight. In 2026, the Commission’s strategic priorities will focus on consolidating market recovery, advancing regulatory reforms, strengthening market depth and resilience, and positioning Ghana’s capital market as a key driver of inclusive and sustainable economic growth. The Commission will prioritise the completion and implementation of key legislative and regulatory reforms. These include advancing the passage of the revised Securities Industry Act and operationalising the Virtual Asset Service Providers framework through subsidiary regulations and the commencement of licensing and supervisory activities. We expect these reforms to improve regulatory clarity, strengthen investor protection, and align Ghana’s capital market with international standards. Guidelines aimed at deepening market liquidity and expanding product offerings will also remain central to our work. The Commission will pursue the issuance and implementation of pending guidelines on market making, securities lending and borrowing, margin trading, and asset-backed securities. The Commission is also working on the issuance of non-interest bond (Sukuk) Guidelines. These initiatives are expected to stimulate secondary market activity, improve price discovery, and attract a broader base of domestic and international investors.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 13 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA transformation, with the full operationalisation of the Regulatory Compliance Portal expected to improve regulatory efficiency, enhance data-driven supervision, and streamline engagement with market operators. In parallel, the Commission will build on progress under the Capital Market Master Plan by reconstituting its working groups and reviewing the strategic framework to accelerate the implementation of priority initiatives aimed at deepening market development, strengthening institutional capacity, and diversifying funding sources for the real economy. Strategic partnerships with development finance institutions will continue to play a key role in supporting these efforts. At the same time, investor protection and education will remain at the forefront of the Commission’s agenda, with the expansion of nationwide financial literacy programmes to equip investors with the knowledge required to make informed decisions and protect themselves against fraudulent schemes. In closing, I extend my sincere appreciation to the Board, management, staff, strategic partners and all stakeholders for their dedication and support throughout 2025. The progress we achieved during the year stands as a testament to our collective commitment to excellence and to the development of a robust and inclusive capital market. As we move into 2026, we remain resolute in our mission to ensure that Ghana’s capital market continues to play a pivotal role in national development. Financial Highlights Operational Performance The Commission recorded a deficit of GH¢3.27 million in 2025 as against a surplus of GH¢ 21.41 million recorded in 2024. The surplus recorded in 2024 is largely due to an amount of GH¢ 20 million received from the government to support the operations of the Commission. The actual surplus for 2024 from operations of the Commission is GH¢ 1.41 million. The Commission is financially independent from Government of Ghana subvention, and its revenue streams are therefore largely market driven. The deficit was therefore financed from the reserves of the Commission. Income The Commission’s operational income increased by 9.63 percent from GH¢ 55.86 million in 2024 to GH¢ 61.24 million in 2025. The total overall income of the Commission decreased from GH¢ 75.86 million (operational revenue of GH¢ 55.86 million plus GH¢ 20.0 million Government of Ghana support) to GH¢ 61.24 million. The significant drop in total revenue is mainly as a result of an amount of GH¢20 million received in 2024 from the Government of Ghana compared to a much lower amount of GH¢1.1 million received from the Government of Ghana in 2024. Operating revenue, however, increased by 2.71 percent from GH¢ 46.46 million in 2024 to GH¢ 47.72 million in 2025. Transaction levy increased significantly by 77.49 percent from GH¢ 15.58 million in 2024 to GH¢ 27.66 million in 2025. However, the significant increase in transaction levy was neutralized by a decline of 78.91 percent in prospectus approval fees from GH¢ 16.15 million in 2024 to GH¢ 3.41 million in 2025 as there were no major issuances in the primary market. Overall revenue performance in 2025 was 17.11 percent below the budgeted amount of GH¢73.88 million as an amount of GH¢ 25.00 million budgeted to be received from Fees on Pension Assets could not be received as modalities for the implementation of the fees is still ongoing between the SEC and the relevant stakeholders in the Pension industry.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 14 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Expenditure Although the Commission tried to align its expenditure to revenue, operating expenditure increased year on year by 18.48 percent from GH¢54.45 million in 2024 to GH¢64.51 million in 2025. During the year, the Commission had to step up its regulatory and supervisory oversight of the market resulting in an increase in expenditure which was largely driven by expenses related to staffing and capacity building of staff as it carries on the initiatives under the Capital Market Master Plan. The operating expenses of GH¢64.51 million for 2025 was 7.93 percent below the budgeted expenditure of GH¢69.02 million for the year. Management, in the coming year intends to boost the revenues of the Commission by finalizing negotiations for the payment of fees on pension assets which could not be concluded with relevant stakeholders in 2025. Management would also introduce other revenue enhancement measures like levy on assets under management which was suspended in 2017 and licensing of virtual assets service providers. The implementation of these revenue enhancement measures would greatly improve the finances of the Commission and drive the Commission towards financial sustainability. We will try to align expenditure with revenue, and we are hopeful that the financial fortunes of the Commission will improve in the coming year. DR.

Accordingly, the Commission, by a letter dated 28th May 2025, requested the submission of a support letter from the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) as evidence of its engagement and confirmation of its intention not to divest its interest in the Target. The Commission thereafter received a letter from SSNIT confirming that it had no intention of divesting its shares in Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC, together with a copy of the relevant correspondence from ENS Africa Ghana. Following a review of the submissions, the SEC issued an approval letter to ENS Africa Ghana on 3rd July 2025. Subsequently, the Castel Group issued a press release to the market, informing stakeholders of the approvals obtained from both ERCA and the SEC, and confirming that it would not be making an offer to acquire the shares of the remaining shareholders of Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC.

CALBank PLC – Conversion of Preference Shares to Ordinary Shares The Commission received, for examination and approval, a request from IC Securities (Ghana) Ltd, acting on behalf of CALBank PLC, on 9th April 2025 in respect of the conversion of the Bank’s preference shares into ordinary shares. The preference shares arose from the Renounceable Rights Issue completed by CALBank PLC on 26th April 2024, pursuant to which a total of 47,765,376 preference shares were issued and listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange. The request highlighted the decision of shareholders at CALBank PLC’s Annual General Meeting held on 20 March 2025, at which a special resolution was passed authorising the conversion of all issued preference shares on a one-for-one basis, in accordance with Part 1.5.3 (Conversion) of the Rights Issue Offer Circular dated 30 January 2025. The Commission subsequently approved the conversion on 23rd April 2025. The Bank was also required to submit evidence of registration of the newly converted shares with the Office of the Registrar of Companies. 1.1.8. CALBank PLC – Conversion of Debt to Equity On 8th May 2025, the Commission received a letter from CALBank PLC formally introducing the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), an agency of the United States Government’s development finance institution and seeking approval for DFC to convert part of its debt exposure into ordinary shares of the Bank. The request indicated that, as part of CALBank PLC’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial stability and maintain robust capital adequacy, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, a long-standing lending partner of the Bank, had approved the conversion of up to US$32.6 million of its outstanding US$65 million debt exposure into ordinary equity (Tier 1 Capital). The Commission reviewed the request and granted its approval on 12th May 2025. The Bank was also required to submit evidence of registration of the newly converted shares with the Office of the Registrar of Companies. 1.1.9.

Following the meeting, the Commission requested the submission of a detailed proposal outlining how Scancom PLC, as the sole shareholder of MML, intends to achieve the 30% direct localisation requirement in line with the Bank of Ghana directive, for examination and approval. The Commission further requested the submission of a Bank of Ghana No-Objection or approval in respect of the proposed localisation of 30% of MML’s equity, in compliance with the Payment Systems and Services Act, 2019 (Act 987), as well as a preview of the combined financial statements of Scancom PLC and MML. On 21st August 2025, IC Securities informed the Commission that shareholder approval for the transaction was still pending and was expected by the end of September 2025. It was also indicated that formal approval from the Bank of Ghana on the merger and proposed structure had not yet been obtained, and that certain aspects of the transaction may evolve as the court process progresses and final engagements with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) on tax considerations are concluded. The last communication between the Commission and the transaction advisers, IC Securities, on behalf of Scancom PLC, was on 22nd August 2025.

By a letter dated 13th August 2025, the Commission was informed of the Issuer’s intention to make full payment to Commercial Paper holders, to which the Commission issued a No-Objection.

The Issuer submitted a revised application on 12th July 2024 albeit with some outstanding information which the Issuer indicated will be submitted at a later date.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 58 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA 1.1.13.

Following a careful examination of the draft announcement, the Commission agreed in principle to its contents and, by a letter dated 22nd January 2024, requested the submission of the final tender offer announcement, including pricing details and the offer timetable, for approval. Upon receipt and review of the final draft tender offer announcement from Bentsi-Enchill, Leta & Ankomah (BELA), the legal advisers to PZ Cussons Ghana Limited, the Commission approved the announcement on 18th March 2024.

Accordingly, by a letter dated 11th December 2024, the Commission was informed that the High Court, by an order granted on 28th October 2024, had confirmed the special resolution of PZ Cussons Ghana PLC for the cancellation of shares and the proposal to appoint Standard Chartered Bank Ghana PLC as the Escrow Bank. In response, the Commission, by a letter dated 15th January 2025, issued a no-objection to the appointment of Standard Chartered Bank Ghana PLC and advised that steps be taken to communicate the Court’s decision and any other relevant information to affected shareholders and the investing public. Subsequently, by a letter dated 20th May 2025, from BELA, on behalf of PZ Cussons Ghana Limited, proposed the appointment of Zenith Bank (Ghana) Ltd as Escrow Bank in place of Standard Chartered Bank Ghana PLC. The submission included a draft Escrow Account Agreement between PZ Cussons Ghana Limited, Zenith Bank (Ghana) Ltd, and the Commission, as well as a draft public announcement for review and approval. The Commission reviewed the request and the accompanying documents and, by a letter dated 29th May 2025, issued a no-objection to the appointment of Zenith Bank (Ghana) Ltd as Escrow Bank, together with comments for redress. The Commission further requested the submission of a revised draft Escrow Account Agreement incorporating the comments highlighted. A letter was received from BELA, on behalf of PZ Cussons Ghana Limited, on 4th December 2025, notifying the Commission that IC Securities (Ghana) Limited had been appointed as Manager for the escrow arrangement.

Feedback from the Committee is expected by the end of first quarter of 2026. • 57 large orders were identified with no infraction or abuse identified. Large orders provide an indication of who is cornering a particular stock on the market. • No front running abuse was identified following the review of daily trade activity on the market. • 8,028 trades were identified as marking the close.

The department is working with the IT unit to develop a system to track the performance of investment portfolios of fund managers to ascertain the potential manipulation of end-of-day stock prices to affect portfolio values. The exercise should be completed by end of first quarter of 2026. II. Preliminary Investigations The team investigated the following: • Unusual price movement in GGBL, CLYD, EGH and MTNGH shares during the year under review. • Trading of MTNGH shares via MTN mobile money; It came to the attention of the department that MTN Ghana (MTNGH) allowed the trading of its shares via MTN Mobile Money. Investigation reveal that this service is no longer supported by MTN. • Pickinshub; preliminary investigation of the activities of a social media account operating under the handle of @pickinshub on Instagram who creates and shares content on finance news, tips and updates, business ideas and other ways to make money online. Final report will be shared with the Investigations Unit for their further action. • NewGold shares (GLD) and the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) Gold price (GOLDNPM Index); comparative analysis of both prices which showed that GLD mirrors the movement of the GOLDNPM Index, confirming that it effectively tracks the performance of gold on the global market. • Trades on the GSE platform after market close. On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the IT team of the GSE planned to conduct patch testing in the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment after the live market closed at 3 PM. This patch was provided by Infotech as part of its regular upgrades to the Automated Trading System (ATS), specifically for interfacing the ATS with the new Central Securities Depository and Montran system. Following the market close, the GSE’s IT team initiated the system for the planned test in the UAT environment at 3:23 PM, with the intention of commencing the UAT at 4:00 PM. On the same day, around 3:30 pm, it was observed that the production ATS was still open, causing pending orders to be executed. Three equity securities (CAL, EGL and ETI) were traded by three LDMs (IC Securities, Laurus Securities and SIC Brokerage). The IT team of the SEC supported the surveillance team in the 2025 inspections to understand the nature of the issue and make recommendations. The SEC team concluded that a suspected misconfiguration in the recent patch updates to the UAT ATS environment had allowed market state changes in the UAT ATS environment to impact the production ATS market state. The issue was reported to InfoTech, the vendors of the GSE’s ATS, to ensure the incidence is not repeated. (3) Regulations, Rules, Guidelines, Manuals and Approvals The department supported work on some regulations, rules, guidelines, and manuals to improve the regulatory environment.

The decrease is largely because of transfers to ORC as required by section 73 (2) of Companies Act 2019, Act 992. The 2025 report on unclaimed dividends is due by end of March 2026. iv. Failed Trades in the fixed income market Due to the CSDs system upgrade the monthly failed trade reports were submitted for January to July 2025 and were on submitted on time.

CSD acquisition of new system - the CSD system has been rolled out and currently operational. The CSD submitted a status update on its system in November 2025 and the update given shows some Depository Participants are still engaged in data cleansing, one of the biggest issues with the CSD’s system upgrade. Following the go-live there are twenty issues that have been reported to Montran, the system vendors, for a resolution. Additionally, fifteen New Change Request have been submitted to Montran for development and deployment. The department is working closely with CSD to ensure smooth and efficient operation of the new system. The department has also issued a questionnaire to Depository Participants to elicit information on the effectiveness of the new CSD system. The responses from the questionnaire guided the drafting of the inspection questionnaire administered to the CSD for the year ended 2025. The CSD is expected to submit its response to the Commissions inspection questionnaire by 30th January 2026. ii. CSD settlement disruption - the department investigated a notification from CSD and GSE regarding a system interruption. The issue originated from power-related issues at the Bank of Ghana (BoG) that impacted multiple systems, including Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS), T24 Core Banking, Oracle ERP, SwiftNet, and other supporting databases. iii. GSE Demutualization – the Commission directed GSE to use the legislative approach to achieve the proposed demutualization of GSE. Draft Guidelines on the demutualization have also been prepared for market discussions and board approval. iv. The GCX unit revised the GCX monthly, quarterly and surveillance return templates. v. Engagement with Tree Crop Development Authority (TCDA)- The GCX unit held engagements with the Tree Crop Development Authority to explore collaboration aimed at boosting trading activity on the Exchange. Discussions reaffirmed earlier work done during the drafting of the Tree Crop Development Act, 2019 (Act 1010), which envisages trading tree crops such as cashew and shea nut through GCX. GCX subsequently made a presentation to TCDA, and further engagements are ongoing, with cashew being considered as the initial commodity. vi. Dual listing of Nigerian paddy rice- The Unit engaged GCX on a proposal from the Nigerian Commodity Exchange to dual-list Nigerian Paddy Rice on GCX. Conclusion Key result areas of the department were largely met with outstanding task planned to be carried out during the year 2026. A key drawback for the department is the lack of an automated surveillance system. It is hoped that investment will be made in this area to enhance our surveillance.

The review was carried out for 45 FMCs which managed Private Wealth Management and High Net Worth Individual (PWM and HNWI) funds.

Fixed Deposits with Banks was the next highest category accounting for 22% of AUM totalling GH¢2.15 billion. These placements were spread across 21 banks. Foreign Listed Bonds accounted for 5% of AUM reflecting a shift toward dollar-denominated assets and an appetite to diversify investment portfolios. Listed Equities which represented 4% of AUM was mainly concentrated in equities traded on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE).

This sharp decline for June probably indicates underlying financial pressures such as operating losses, however the situation experienced a turnaround with gradual increases till Nov 2025.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 78 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA The Investment Advisory industry generated total cash inflows of GHS119.67 million and outflows of GHS110.70 million from January to December 2025, resulting in a strong net cash surplus of GHS8.97 million. Despite a significant cash shortfall in March, positive cash flows in five out of six months supported overall liquidity. Shareholders’ funds grew steadily from GHS 53.18 million in January till November when it declined to GHS 45.41 million in December of the period under review. This suggests that while operational cash generation remained healthy, other factors such as revaluations, expenses, or distributions may have impacted equity in the final month. Overall, the industry demonstrated sound cash flow management. 4.2.2 Quarterly returns 2025 Highlights of Quarterly Returns Quarterly returns from licensees are expected to reach the Commission not later than 21 days after the end of the quarter to which the statement relates.

• Worldwide Securities Limited
• Bullion Securities Limited Highlights of Annual Returns The year-on-year financial analysis reflected a slightly challenged Industry performance for Broker Dealers. Growth in revenue far outpaced the previous year’s performance, resulting in a marginal loss position. This loss position was underpinned by increased levels of operational expenses witnessed across the Broker-Dealer Industry. A substantial rise in shareholders’ funds and total assets, alongside a consistent reduction in liabilities, suggested that the not only was the Industry expanding but more so doing so on a more resilient and well-capitalized foundation. These developments signal renewed confidence in the sector and positions the industry with continued momentum within the period under review as shown in Table 34.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 99 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA jurisdictions together to discuss the most relevant issues and risks with regard to global financial markets, and how to assist regulators in implementing standards through capacity building. Three regulatory workshops were also offered to members focusing on sustainability disclosure for corporates, the implementation of crypto assets frameworks and how to navigate private finance and were attended by about 200 participants. Regulatory Workshop 1: Global Sustainability Disclosure Standards: Developing Roadmaps for Adoption and Other Use of ISSB Standards This workshop aimed to provide support to jurisdictions in their journey for adoption and other use of the ISSB standards. The discussions covered an overview of the IFRS Foundation’s Inaugural Jurisdictional Adoption Guide and the Adoption Toolkit, which includes policy rationale materials, a roadmap development tool, and roadmap templates. Designed to facilitate jurisdictional adoption, the guide and toolkit sought to ensure international consistency and comparability in sustainability-related disclosures for capital markets. The session featured a panel discussion with the growth and emerging market members from around the world who were already well advanced on their journey of developing and implementing a roadmap in their jurisdictions, sharing their firsthand experiences, including their policy rationale and adoption approaches, and challenges encountered, and solutions implemented. This workshop supported the IOSCO GEMC Network for Adoption and Other Use of the ISSB Standards and is part of the overall IOSCO’s capacity building program on this area. Regulatory Workshop 2: Implementing Crypto Assets Frameworks This workshop discussed IOSCO’s policy recommendations for crypto and digital asset markets, which sought to promote market integrity, investor protection, and cross-border regulatory coordination. As crypto and digital asset markets continued to expand and evolve, regulators face the challenge of mitigating risks such as fraud, market manipulation, and custody vulnerabilities, while ensuring alignment with the way traditional markets were regulated, under the principle of same activity, same risks, same regulation. The session focused on how jurisdictions were approaching the adoption and implementation of effective regulatory regimes for crypto-assets that help tackle the cross-border and cross-sectoral challenges involved, in line with the IOSCO policy recommendations. Regulatory Workshop 3: Navigating Private Finance: Addressing Vulnerabilities in a Changing Financial Environment This workshop brought together regulators and industry representatives to explore major trends, risks and data gaps in private finance. As evidenced by IOSCO’s Thematic Analysis: Emerging Risks in Private Finance Final Report (September 2023) and the ongoing work of IOSCO’s Committee of Emerging Risks and its Private Finance Working Group, this sector had expanded significantly over the past decade, transforming capital markets and creating new opportunities for investment and economic growth. Nonetheless, concerns over opacity, valuation practices, leverage, and potential conflicts of interest have raised questions regarding financial stability, investor protection, and market integrity. The evolving macro financial environment over the past years, characterized by shifts in interest rates, liquidity conditions and market volatility, creates further complications. Panellists discussed how regulators, financial institutions and investors were adapting to developments in private finance and addressing vulnerabilities. The workshop also analysed the role of cross border cooperation in mitigating systemic risks and discussed the future development of this sector. During the Multilateral Memorandum Of Understanding (MMoU) meeting, new signatories to IOSCO’s Enhanced Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (EMMoU) were acknowledged, they included the CMA Kenya, the Securities Commission of Malaysia and CNMV Spain. IOSCO’s MMoU and EMMoU were acknowledged as the key standard for international cooperation and information sharing amongst regulators globally.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 100 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA The meeting was informed that IOSCO’s 51st Annual Meeting would be hosted by the Financial Regulatory Authority of Egypt. AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST REGIONAL COMMITTEE (AMERC) MEETING IN ABU DHABI, UAE The International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Africa, Middle East Regional Committee (AMERC), which brings together 42 securities regulators from across the region, met in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on November 11 and 12, to discuss issues of regional interest and global trends impacting the region. The meetings were hosted by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Chaired by H.E. Waleed Saeed Al Awadhi, CEO, Securities & Commodities Authority, UAE. The AMERC Plenary Meeting discussed members’ policy responses and lessons learned in deepening and diversifying capital markets; the challenges faced in promoting regional capital market integration; and ways to enhance cross-border supervisory cooperation. Members continue to support regional cooperation and capacity building as essential drivers for building more inclusive, liquid, and resilient markets across the region. The Plenary Meeting was followed by the FSRA ADGM Public Conference, featuring an open dialogue between regulators and key industry stakeholders about recent developments in crypto markets, the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT), tokenisation, and the rise of private credit in the region. The conference discussed how these developments can drive market growth and resilience through robust regulation, sound supervision, transparency, and investor protection. During the thematic discussion on regional capital market integration, the Hon. Dr. James Klutse Avedzi (the Director-General of the SEC Ghana) described the work of the West Africa Securities Regulators Association (WASRA) as one that harmonizes regulation and supports the integration of West African capital markets. IOSCO LAUNCHED SUPTECH FORUM The International Organization Of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) launched the SupTech Forum in November 2025 to help Regulators leverage technology for supervision. The Forum is chaired by Marlene Amstad, Chair of the Swiss Financial Market Authority (FINMA). The Forum is a space for regulators to: a. Foster collaboration on how to make the best use of technological solutions for supervision. b. Build a shared knowledge base between our members c. Support debate on the strategic adoption of technology within regulatory authorities. The Forum focuses on the strategic adoption of AI, Gen AI, and other innovative technologies, tackling issues like data complexity and the need for more efficient supervisory processes. The launch of the Forum aligns with IOSCO’s 2025 work program aimed at addressing risks in Fintech and strengthening regulatory cooperation and effectiveness, following earlier work on AI and machine learning. The Forum is an inclusive space bringing together both developed and emerging markets and is a further step in IOSCO’s mission of building effective, efficient and resilient global markets at a time when the landscape is being reshaped by digitalization, complex data and the rise of new technologies like Gen AI.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 105 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA The outlook for 2026 remains subject to significant downside risks. Further escalation in trade restrictions, tighter export controls on critical commodities, or weaker-than-expected returns from emerging technology investments could dampen growth and amplify market volatility. Elevated asset valuations, together with the increasing role of highly leveraged non￾bank financial intermediaries and the growing interconnectedness of crypto-asset markets with the traditional financial system, also pose potential financial stability risks. Conversely, a 01 ECONOMIC REVIEW GLOBAL ECONOMIC REVIEW The global economy proved more resilient than expected in 2025, but underlying fragilities remained. Supportive macroeconomic policies, improving financial conditions, and increased investment in AI–enabling technologies helped sustain global demand and bolster investor sentiment across both advanced and emerging market economies. Nonetheless, structural vulnerabilities remained evident. Rising protectionist measures and tariff adjustments began to influence corporate cost structures, consumer prices and trade patterns, particularly in the United States. Global merchandise trade growth moderated after strong front-loaded activity earlier in the year, as firms accelerated shipments in anticipation of higher trade barriers. At the same time, inflationary pressures remained uneven across jurisdictions, with several economies yet to achieve central bank inflation targets, while labour market conditions showed early signs of gradual easing. According to projections by the IMF (2026), global GDP growth is projected to remain steady at 3.3 percent for 2025 and 2026. Global Capital Market Commodities Market Global Bond Market Global Equities Market HIGHLIGHTS Introduction Advanced Economies Emerging Markets and Developing Economies Global Inflation and Uncertainty 1 5 2 6 3 4 7 8 de-escalation of trade tensions and faster-than￾anticipated productivity gains from technological innovation could provide additional support to global economic expansion. Advanced Economies Growth in advanced economies is projected at 1.8 percent in 2026 and 1.7 percent in 2027, indicating modest but stable expansion. In the United States, growth is expected at

Annual Report & Financial Statements 106 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA 2.4 percent in 2026 and 2.0 percent in 2027, supported by fiscal stimulus, lower interest rates, and easing trade constraints, although moderating consumption and lower immigration may weigh on momentum. In the euro area, growth is projected to remain subdued at 1.3 percent in 2026 and 1.4 percent in 2027, constrained by structural challenges, energy costs, and weaker manufacturing competitiveness, despite some support from increased public spending. In Japan, growth is expected to slow to 0.7 percent in 2026 and 0.6 percent in 2027, reflecting moderation after earlier gains, with fiscal stimulus providing limited support. The outlook reflects steady but subdued growth, shaped by structural headwinds, moderating demand, and gradual policy support. Emerging Markets and Developing Economies Growth in emerging markets and developing economies is projected to remain stable at just above 4.0 percent in 2026 and 2027, reflecting steady but moderate expansion. In China, growth was approximately 5.0 percent in 2025, expected to ease to 4.5 percent in 2026 and 4.0 percent in 2027, supported by policy stimulus and lower trade tensions, but constrained by structural headwinds over the medium term. In India, growth is projected to remain strong at 7.3 percent in 2025, moderating to 6.4 percent in 2026 and 2027 as cyclical factors fade. In the Middle East and Central Asia, growth is expected to rise to 3.9 percent in 2026 and 4.0 percent in 2027, driven by higher oil output and resilient domestic demand. Similarly, sub-Saharan Africa is projected to experience a gradual acceleration from 4.4 percent in 2025 to 4.6 percent in 2026 and 2027, supported by macroeconomic stabilisation and reforms. In Latin America and the Caribbean, growth is expected to moderate to 2.2 percent in 2026 before rebounding to 2.7 percent in 2027, while emerging and developing Europe is projected to recover from a slowdown, expanding at 2.3 percent in 2026 and 2.4 percent in 2027. Growth in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to strengthen modestly, rising from 4.4 percent in 2025 to 4.6 percent in 2026 and 2027, underpinned by ongoing macroeconomic stabilisation, fiscal consolidation efforts, and structural reforms in key economies. This gradual acceleration reflects improving policy credibility, enhanced investor confidence, and a more supportive domestic environment, although external vulnerabilities remain. Global Inflation and Uncertainty Global headline inflation continued its gradual convergence toward central bank targets, albeit with marked cross-country variation. This moderation was driven in part by the sustained decline in energy prices, as Brent crude oil, which averaged $69 per barrel in 2025, is projected to fall further to $60 in 2026 amid increased supply and relatively weak global demand. Food price dynamics have also contributed to the easing trend, with the FAO Food Price Index declining modestly, as reductions in dairy, meat, and vegetable oil prices outweighed increases in cereals and sugar. At the same time, core inflation has softened, reflecting easing wage pressures in the context of moderating labour demand, although disparities across economies persist.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 107 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA While short-term inflation expectations for 2025 have been revised slightly upward, longer-term expectations remain well anchored around 2 percent, indicating sustained policy credibility. Looking ahead, global inflation is projected to decline further, supported by subdued economic activity, easing labour market conditions, and lower energy prices, though trade-related frictions, particularly tariffs, may introduce divergence across major economies. In terms of risk, the global economy continues to navigate a period of heightened uncertainty, which has increasingly become a defining feature of economic activity. While growth persisted in 2025, uncertainty, particularly stemming from geopolitical tensions, trade policy shifts, and evolving regulatory landscapes—has acted as a material constraint on investment, trade, and long-term business planning. Surveys, including the World Economic Forum’s Chief Economists’ Outlook, indicated that over 80% of respondents viewed the level of global economic uncertainty as very high, with implications for GDP growth, trade volumes, and foreign direct investment. Economic policy uncertainty indices and measures such as the World Uncertainty Index corroborate these trends, highlighting historical parallels with periods of acute disruption, including the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Elevated uncertainty has been shown to dampen consumer spending, slow business investment, and introduce volatility into labor and commodity markets. Core inflation has moderated in some regions, but policy unpredictability, particularly regarding tariffs and trade disputes, has generated uneven impacts across countries. Global Capital Market In 2025, global capital markets registered a robust performance, characterised by broad-based gains across equities, fixed income, and real assets, despite episodic volatility from trade policy and inflationary pressures. The MSCI All-Country World Index (ACWI) advanced 22.3 percent, with international equities outperforming the U.S, surging nearly 32 percent compared with the S&P 500’s 18 percent gain. Key markets, including China, Japan, Brazil, and Europe, recorded double￾digit returns, often exceeding U.S. benchmarks, while the technology sector, driven by accelerated AI adoption, led sectoral performance, with momentum broadening to other industries by year-end. Fixed income markets posted positive returns amid mid-year turbulence, supported by a Federal Reserve rate cut responding to labor market dynamics. Real estate investment activity also expanded, led by strong capital flows from the Asia-Pacific region. Overall, market resilience was underpinned by structural growth drivers, notably AI, while short-term volatility reflected geopolitical and trade-related uncertainties, illustrating the evolving risk-return dynamics in global capital markets.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 108 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Commodities Market Commodities in 2025 were characterised by a historic rally in precious metals, led by gold and silver reaching record highs, while energy markets faced downward pressure. While precious metals significantly outperformed, overall commodity value pools slightly declined, impacted by softer energy prices and shifting global demand. Ghana’s principal export commodities displayed divergent market trends. Gold prices climbed sharply by 63.4 percent, reaching an average of $4,316.29 per fine ounce in December, up from $2,641.45 the previous year, supported by elevated safe-haven demand, robust central bank purchases, and a sequence of U.S. Fed rate cuts amid geopolitical and geo-economic tensions. Conversely, cocoa prices tumbled 45.7 percent to $5,899.05 per tonne, reflecting increased output from improved weather conditions. Crude oil similarly softened, falling 15.8 percent to $61.63 per barrel, as higher supply and weaker global demand weighed on prices. The year thus highlighted the asymmetric performance of Ghana’s exports, driven by a combination of macroeconomic forces, supply dynamics, and international policy shifts. Global Bond Market In 2025, global bond markets delivered a broad-based rally, reflecting a combination of declining yields, tightening credit spreads, and resilient investor demand. The U.S. Aggregate Index posted its strongest annual return since 2020 at 7.30 percent, led by mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which returned 8.58 percent, their highest total and excess returns since 2002 and 2010, respectively. Investment-grade corporates also performed strongly, benefiting from duration exposure amid falling rates, while floating-rate sectors, including corporate FRNs and leveraged loans, lagged with more modest returns of 5.12 percent and 5.51 percent. High-yield bonds maintained their multi-year outperformance, with U.S. high yield returning 8.62 percent, supported by elevated carry, stable fundamentals, and disciplined issuance. Emerging market (EM) hard-currency debt led global fixed income performance, posting a 12.16 percent return on a dollar-unhedged basis, driven by spread compression and currency effects, while EM local-currency debt also recorded exceptional gains, particularly in Latin America and EMEA, with FX appreciation amplifying total returns. Across maturities, duration was rewarded, particularly in the 5–10 year segment of the U.S. Treasury curve, while ultra-long maturities underperformed despite higher starting yields. European government bonds delivered muted returns, with the Euro area posting only 1.25 percent, constrained by limited duration gains and weaker long-end performance, whereas the Source: S&P Global, LBMA, Macrobond, MSCI, ICE, US. Treasury Fig 13: Annual Performance Ranking of 10 major Asset Classes

Annual Report & Financial Statements 109 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA UK benefited from supportive curve dynamics, returning 5.02 percent. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index achieved its best annual performance since 2020 at 8.17 percent USD unhedged, with corporates and securitized sectors leading returns. The rally reflected supportive global interest rate dynamics, robust credit conditions, and the benefits of geographic and sector diversification. Yield levels remained elevated by historical standards, offering differentiated income opportunities across high￾and low-risk segments, even amid broad-based compression. Drawing on ICE Climate (2026) insights, the global volume of sustainable bond issuance across fixed income instruments remained largely unchanged in 2025 relative to 2024, with total issuance holding steady at ~$1.1 trillion. The share of issuances supported by second-party opinions also exhibited consistency with prior years. Notwithstanding this aggregate stability, the market experienced notable reconfiguration across geographic regions, instrument categories, and sectoral distribution, reflecting underlying structural shifts in the sustainable finance landscape. Fig 15: Total issuance across sustainable fixed income instruments Source: ICE, 2025 Green bonds retained their primacy within the sustainable fixed income market in 2025, remaining the dominant issuance category by volume. Sustainable bonds continued to rank second, reinforcing their position as the next most significant segment in the market. Year-on-year dynamics varied across instrument classes. Green and sustainable bonds registered modest growth, further consolidating their status as core pillars of the sustainable debt market. In contrast, social bond issuance contracted in 2025 relative to 2024, reflecting a normalization of activity following the elevated levels of social financing observed during the pandemic period.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 110 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Source: ICE, 2025 Fig 17: Total sustainable bond issuance across fixed income instrument types Sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) extended their multi-year contraction, with 2025 marking the fourth consecutive year of declining issuance. Transition bonds, while still a relatively niche segment by volume, experienced a moderation in issuance following strong expansion in 2024, largely reflecting subdued activity in Asian markets. Conversely, blue bonds, though limited in overall market share, recorded a more than twofold increase in issuance between 2024 and 2025. This growth was underpinned by heightened activity in both Europe and Asia, signalling rising investor interest in ocean-related sustainability initiatives and a gradual geographic diversification beyond the Asia-Pacific region’s traditional dominance in this segment. The sustainable bond market experienced notable regional rebalancing in 2025. In particular, China emerged as the leading issuing jurisdiction, with total issuance volumes exceeding those of North America by more than twofold. This expansion was largely underpinned by supportive domestic green finance policies and the continued scaling of sustainable bond programmes within the banking sector. Source: ICE, 2025 Fig 18: Total issuance across sustainable fixed income instruments Global Equities Market Global equity markets delivered a strong and broadly synchronized performance in 2025, with returns underpinned by resilient corporate earnings, disinflationary trends, and a progressively accommodative monetary policy stance led by the Federal Reserve. The MSCI World Index recorded an approximate 21% annual return in US dollar terms, reflecting sustained risk appetite and supportive macro-financial conditions. A defining feature of the year was the marked rotation away from US market dominance, as non-US equities— particularly in the Eurozone, UK, and select emerging markets—outperformed, driven by relatively attractive valuations, a weaker US dollar, and improved regional growth prospects. While US equities, as proxied by the S&P 500, posted a robust near-18 percent gain, extending a multi-year rally, market concentration in large￾cap technology stocks began to moderate toward year-end. This coincided with a gradual broadening of market leadership across cyclical and defensive sectors. In contrast, European equities delivered exceptional returns, with the MSCI EMU Index exceeding 40% in US dollar terms, supported by easing financial conditions and improving investor sentiment. Similarly, UK equities recorded one of their strongest performances in over a decade, benefiting from global revenue exposure and sustained demand for value-oriented and dividend-paying stocks.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 111 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA In Asia, Japanese equities maintained upward momentum amid corporate governance reforms and policy normalization by the Bank of Japan, while Asia ex-Japan and broader emerging markets outperformed global benchmarks, largely driven by technology-intensive markets such as Korea and Taiwan. Nonetheless, China diverged from this trend, with weaker macroeconomic fundamentals and property sector vulnerabilities weighing on returns. African equity markets delivered an exceptional and broad-based rally in the reporting year, decisively outperforming global benchmarks including the MSCI All Country World Index (~21%). Returns were amplified by currency appreciation, with standout performances from the Malawi Stock Exchange All Share Index (>247%) and the Fig 19: International Equity Indexes Outperformed US stocks in 2025 (Annual Return, 2025 (%) Ghana Stock Exchange Composite Index (79.4% local; 154.4% USD). Strong gains in the Lusaka Securities Exchange All Share Index and Nigerian Exchange All Share Index further reflected improved macroeconomic conditions, reform momentum and deepening investor participation. The upswing was underpinned by robust domestic liquidity, inflation-hedging demand, earnings resilience, and structural market enhancements. Major exchanges, including the Johannesburg Stock Exchange All Share Index and Egyptian Exchange 30 Index, recorded solid gains alongside smaller frontier markets, highlighting the breadth of the rally. A weaker US dollar, evidenced by the decline in the ICE US Dollar Index, further magnified USD returns, reinforcing the relative attractiveness of African equities within global portfolios.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 112 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Growth dynamics in 2025 were largely driven by the non-oil sector, reinforcing Ghana’s gradual transition toward a more diversified economic structure. The services sector remained the dominant contributor, accounting for over half of total GDP growth, with strong performance in information and communication, transport and storage, education, and financial and insurance activities. The agricultural sector also recorded a notable recovery, expanding by over 5 percent in the final quarter, supported by improved crop production and a rebound in cocoa output following the contraction observed in 2024. In contrast, the industrial sector recorded modest growth, constrained primarily by a decline in oil and gas production. Nevertheless, this was partially offset by gains in manufacturing and electricity generation. Overall, growth remained somewhat concentrated, with a limited number of sectors, particularly services, crops, gold, manufacturing, and transport, accounting for a substantial share of total output expansion. Complementing these growth outcomes, high-frequency indicators point to a marked strengthening in underlying economic activity. The real Composite Index of Economic Activity (CIEA), published by the Bank of Ghana, recorded a robust year-on-year growth of 12.4 percent in December 2025, a significant improvement from 1.5 percent in the corresponding period of Domestic Economic Review Ghana’s economy strengthened further in 2025, building on the recovery momentum observed in 2024, with real GDP growth accelerating to 6.0 percent, according to the Ghana Statistical Service. This expansion was underpinned by broad-based sectoral performance and improved macroeconomic conditions, with growth gaining traction toward the end of the year, as reflected in a robust 5.8 percent outturn in the fourth quarter, up from 4.0 percent in the corresponding period of 2024. In nominal terms, the economy expanded significantly, exceeding GH¢1.43 trillion, while real GDP rose to approximately GH¢209.6 billion (up from GH¢197.9 billion in 2024), indicating sustained economic resilience. 02 DOMESTIC ECONOMIC REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS Introduction Money Supply Developments Interest Rate Developments Inflation Exchange Rate Development 1 2 3 4 5

Annual Report & Financial Statements 113 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA 2024. This expansion was driven by increased international trade, stronger credit flows to the private sector, higher industrial output, and sustained consumption of goods and services. Confidence indicators signalled improving macroeconomic sentiment. The Consumer Confidence Index rose to 116.4 in December 2025 from 90.2 in December 2024, reflecting easing inflationary pressures and improved household expectations. Similarly, the Business Confidence Index increased to 107.7 from 96.6 over the same period, supported by firms’ achievement of operational targets, relative exchange rate stability, and expectations of declining borrowing costs. These trends were corroborated by the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), which improved to 51.1 in December 2025 from 50.1 in the previous month, indicating an expansion in business activity, largely driven by a pickup in new orders. Fiscal developments in 2025 reflected a period of consolidation, with expenditure pressures contained through commitment control measures amid revenue shortfalls. Consequently, the overall fiscal deficit on a commitment basis narrowed significantly to 1.0 percent of GDP, well below the budget target of 2.8 percent. The primary balance recorded a surplus of 2.6 percent of GDP, exceeding the target of 1.5 percent, indicating improved fiscal discipline. Public debt dynamics also improved markedly, with the debt-to-GDP ratio declining to 45.3 percent at end￾December 2025, from 61.8 percent in the previous year, supported by fiscal consolidation and robust nominal GDP growth.

This deceleration was driven primarily by a significant decline in the contribution of Net Foreign Assets (NFA), which fell to 10.0 percent from 26.3 percent, largely due to valuation effects from the appreciation of the Ghana cedi and relatively subdued foreign asset accumulation. In contrast, the contribution of Net Domestic Assets (NDA) increased modestly to 6.6 percent from 5.6 percent, supported by a turnaround in Net Claims on Government (NCG), which contributed 5.9 percent compared to a contraction of 1.0 percent in 2024, alongside a strong positive contribution from Other Items (Net) of 13.2 percent (2024: -4.0 percent). These were partly offset by weaker private sector credit growth and intensified sterilisation operations. From a composition perspective, demand deposits contributed 10.2 percent (2024: 8.0 percent), while savings and time deposits rose marginally to 7.1 percent (2024: 6.3 percent), indicating stable deposit mobilisation. Currency contribution declined markedly to 3.0 percent from 10.6 percent, while foreign currency deposits exerted a contractionary effect of -3.7 percent, compared with a positive 7.0 percent in 2024, reflecting currency valuation effects and a shift toward cedi-denominated assets.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 115 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Source: BoG, 2026 Fig 26: M2+ Growth and its Sources (% contributions) Interest rate Developments Interest rate conditions eased markedly in 2025, reflecting the disinflation process and the monetary policy easing cycle initiated by the Bank of Ghana in the second half of the year. The Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) declined substantially to 18.0 percent in December 2025 from 27.0 percent in December 2024, representing a cumulative reduction of 900 basis points. This adjustment was complemented by corresponding declines in the overnight reverse repo and deposit rates, reinforcing accommodative liquidity conditions. Short-term money market indicators mirrored these developments. The Interbank Weighted Average Rate fell sharply to 16.3 percent from 27.0 percent, while the average lending rate of banks declined to 20.5 percent from 30.3 percent over the same period, indicating improved transmission of policy easing to market rates. Notwithstanding these declines, real interest rates remained broadly positive, underpinned by the significant moderation in inflation. Developments in the treasury bill market were consistent with the broader easing trend. Yields on the 91-day, 182-day, and 364- day instruments declined to 10.6 percent, 12.6 percent, and 12.9 percent, respectively, from 25.8 percent, 27.0 percent, and 28.7 percent in December 2024. This reflected strong investor demand at the short end of the yield curve and efforts to contain domestic borrowing costs. In contrast, yields on medium- to long-term government securities, including 2-year to 20- year bonds, remained broadly unchanged, largely due to subdued issuance and limited secondary market activity in that segment.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 116 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Inflation Inflation dynamics in 2025 reflected a marked and sustained disinflation process, reversing the elevated and persistent price pressures observed in 2024. Headline inflation declined sharply to 5.4 percent in December 2025 from 23.8 percent in December 2024, representing a significant return toward the medium-term target band. The disinflation trend was broad-based and continuous, with inflation declining for twelve consecutive months during the year, underpinned by tight monetary policy, ongoing fiscal consolidation, improved domestic food supply conditions, easing global inflationary pressures and a strong appreciation of the Ghana cedi. Food inflation, which had been a key driver of inflationary pressures in 2024, moderated substantially, declining to 4.9 percent in December 2025 from 6.6 percent in November, largely reflecting favourable harvest conditions and improved supply dynamics. Non-food inflation also eased to 5.8 percent from 6.1 percent over the same period, supported by exchange rate stability and subdued imported inflation. This broad-based moderation contrasts sharply with 2024, when inflation remained sticky due to persistent food price shocks and domestic supply constraints. Underlying inflationary pressures also diminished significantly. Core inflation, excluding energy and utility components, declined to 4.6 percent in December 2025 from 23.1 percent in December 2024, indicating a sustained easing of demand￾side pressures. Inflation expectations remained well-anchored across businesses and consumers, reflecting improved confidence in macroeconomic management and policy credibility. On a month-on-month basis, price pressures remained contained, with headline inflation at 0.9 percent in December 2025, compared to 1.8 percent in December 2024. Monthly food inflation was at 1.1 percent in December 2025 compared to 2.8 percent in December 2024, while non-food inflation declined to 0.6 percent in December 2026 from 0.7 percent in December 2024, further reinforcing the disinflationary momentum. Overall, inflation developments in 2025 signal a decisive transition from the high and volatile inflation environment of 2024 to a more stable and predictable price regime, supported by coherent monetary-fiscal policy coordination and improved supply-side conditions. Source: Ghana Statistical Service, 2025 Fig 29: Inflation, yearly change rate (%) Exchange Rate Development On the international front, the US Dollar Index trended downward in 2025, reflecting shifting market expectations toward a more accommodative stance by the Federal Reserve and improving macroeconomic conditions outside the United States. The sustained weakening of the dollar contributed to easing external pressures across several emerging market and developing economies. In the domestic foreign exchange market, the Ghana cedi recorded a strong appreciation in 2025, supported by improved macroeconomic fundamentals, robust external inflows, and active foreign exchange interventions by the Bank of Ghana. On a year-to-date basis, the cedi appreciated by 40.67 percent against the US dollar, 30.89 percent against the British pound, and 23.97 percent against the euro, in sharp contrast to the depreciation of 19.18 percent, 17.76

Annual Report & Financial Statements 117 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA The appreciation was underpinned by strong foreign exchange inflows from gold exports, remittances, and mining sector receipts, alongside sustained central bank intermediation and improved reserve buffers. However, the cedi experienced marginal pressures in the early part of 2026, driven by increased foreign exchange demand from the energy, commerce, and manufacturing sectors. These pressures were partly mitigated by continued central bank interventions and inflows from export proceeds.

In real terms, the cedi also registered significant gains, appreciating by 28.80 percent against the US dollar, 24.41 percent against the pound, and 25.10 percent against the euro. Similarly, real effective exchange rate indicators showed appreciations of 25.54 percent (trade-weighted) and 28.42 percent (transaction-weighted), underscoring the broad￾based strengthening of the currency in 2025.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 118 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Source: BoG, 2026 The Stock Market The Ghana Stock Exchange recorded an exceptional performance in 2025, achieving one of the strongest annual returns in its recent history. The benchmark GSE Composite Index rose significantly over the period, closing the year with a gain of 79.4 percent in cedi terms. Market capitalisation also increased substantially, reaching GH¢172 billion at year-end, representing a 54.5 percent rise from GH¢111 billion at the close of 2024. This strong market performance reflects a resurgence in investor confidence. The financial sector was a key driver of growth, with the GSE Financial Stocks Index delivering a return of 95 percent, supported by heightened participation from both retail and institutional investors in banking and insurance equities. Market gains were further reinforced by broad-based gains across the various segments of the market to amplify total market gains. Favourable macroeconomic conditions also played a significant role in shaping market outcomes. The Ghanaian cedi appreciated markedly against the United States dollar during the year, which boosted dollar-adjusted returns for investors converting local gains into foreign currency. At the same time, easing inflation and a sequence of the central bank’s monetary policy rate reductions, signalling lower returns on the fixed income market, made equities a more attractive alternative to cash and fixed income for many investors willing to expand on their risk appetite. Those improvements in the macro picture combined with stronger corporate earnings expectations to underpin the rally. Introduction The securities industry recorded a strong performance in 2025, driven by favourable macroeconomic conditions and strong investor sentiment across asset classes. On the equities front, the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) ranked as Africa’s second-best performing market, driven by substantial gains in financial stocks, increased market capitalisation, and significant Cedi appreciation against the US dollar. The Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM) continued its recovery, consolidating gains from 2024 to approach pre-Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP) levels, although activity remained concentrated at the short end of the market. These broad rallies fostered optimism in the asset management segment, with industry assets reaching record highs. 03 SECURITIES INDUSTRY REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS Introduction The Stock Market Stock Brokerage Fixed Income Market Fixed Income Brokerage 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Funds Management Mutual Funds Unit Trusts The Ghana Commodity Exchange 03 SECURITIES INDUSTRY REVIEW

Trading activity was relatively thin in several counters, resulting in instances where modest transaction flows led to disproportionately large price movements. At a headline level, total trade value increased by 73.75 percent year-on-year to GH¢3.7 billion, even as total volumes traded declined by 22 percent to 771 million shares. Trading activity was highly concentrated within a limited number of sectors. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector emerged as the primary driver of market turnover, accounting for 36.12 percent of total trade value. The Food and Beverage sector followed closely with 35.17 percent of trade value, a figure significantly influenced by a free-of-payment transaction in Guinness Ghana Breweries valued at GH¢1.27 billion. The gold￾backed Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) contributed 17.17 percent of total trade value, while the Financial Services sector accounted for 9.56 percent. In terms of trade volumes, the ICT sector dominated trading activity, representing 49 percent of total shares traded during the year. The Food and Distribution sector followed with 33.09 percent, while the Financial Services sector accounted for 15.54 percent of total trade volumes. ETF trading accounted for only 0.20 percent of total volumes traded. Financial sector stocks recorded the highest number of trades with 131,070 trades out of the 325,047 trades over the course of the year.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 120 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Market breadth on the Ghana Stock Exchange in 2025 was positive and skewed toward broad participation. Out of the 39 listed counters, 23 recorded price increases, 15 finished unchanged from their opening price, and only one security recorded a decline on a year-on-year basis, pointing towards widespread participation across listed equities. Monthly and quarterly reports throughout the year frequently recorded double-digit gains across a diversified set of counters, spanning the financial, Insurance, consumer goods, energy and information communications technology sectors with varied counters contributing to the market’s breadth. At the helm of the chart of gainers was Clydestone Ghana (CLYD), which recorded the highest performance on the Exchange with a year-on-year price increase of 1,433 percent. The stock opened the year at GH¢0.03 and closed at a volume weighted average price of GH¢0.46. SIC Insurance followed with a strong gain of 344 percent, while Enterprise Group (EGH) posted a 285 percent increase, reflecting renewed interest in insurance and financial services stocks. The banking and financial sector featured prominently among the top gainers. GCB Bank and Access Bank Ghana recorded gains of 216 percent and 212 percent respectively, supported by improved earnings outlooks and stronger investor confidence in the sector. Energy and petroleum￾related stocks also performed strongly, with Total Petroleum Ghana rising by 207 percent and GOIL gaining 95 percent over the year. Other gainers included Société Générale Ghana (SOGEGH) with a 199 percent increase, CPC with 150 percent, Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI) with 148 percent, and Benso Oil Palm Plantation (BOPP), which rose by 121 percent. These performances underscore the roles of both sector recovery and company-specific catalysts in driving equity returns during the year. In contrast, the list of decliners was extremely short. Only one stock, Mega African Capital, recorded a negative year-on-year return in 2025, closing the year down 3 percent after falling from an opening price of GH¢5.38 to GH¢5.20. The absence of widespread declines further reinforces the overall positive tone of the market in 2025. Overall, the dominance of top gainers and the near absence of decliners highlight a year in which upside momentum clearly outweighed downside risk on the Ghana Stock Exchange, even as performance remained concentrated among a subset of highly active and strongly performing stocks.

This increase reflects the listing of First Atlantic Bank PLC in December 2025. During the year, CAL Bank PLC converted its preference shares into ordinary shares, resulting in a reduction in the number of other share listings from three to two. The number of listed securities on the Ghana Alternative Market (GAX) remained unchanged at five. Stock Brokerage As the 2025 financial year closed, the equity market rally provided a strong tailwind to the stock brokerage industry, reinforcing sectoral performance. Industry total assets increased from GH¢528.78 million in 2024 to GH¢629.93 million in 2025, reflecting sustained balance sheet expansion and improved market positioning. This corresponds to a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.42 percent, highlighting a structurally upward growth trajectory.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 122 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Revenue growth accelerated markedly to 28.65 percent in 2025, compared to 3 percent in 2024. The expansion was driven by increased trading activity, stronger investor participation, and a shift toward more diversified and actively managed portfolios, which collectively enhanced fee￾based income streams. Notwithstanding these gains, structural pressures persisted. Shareholder equity rose by 17 percent, reversing the 26 percent contraction recorded in 2024. While indicative of improving capital buffers, this recovery also reflects ongoing sensitivity to market conditions and uneven transmission of macroeconomic improvements. Source: SEC, 2025 Fig 33: Industry Balance Sheet A defining feature of the stock brokerage landscape in 2025 is the persistence of high market concentration, albeit with a shift from single-firm dominance to a duopolistic structure. SBG Securities emerged as the market leader, accounting for 42.87 percent (2024:~7%) of total value traded and 38.16 percent of total volume. Closely following, IC Securities maintained a dominant position with 37.88 percent (2024: 70%) of traded value and a leading 41.56 percent share of total volume. These two firms controlled 80.75 percent of total market value and 79.72 percent of traded volume, underlining a highly concentrated trading environment. This structural concentration signals a consolidation of market power with significant implications for liquidity distribution, trade execution and price discovery. While such dominance may enhance efficiency through scale, it simultaneously raises concerns regarding competitive depth and market inclusivity. A secondary tier of brokers operated at a considerable distance from the market leaders. Databank Brokerage Limited accounted for 5.66 percent of traded value, followed by Blackstar Brokerage (3.84 percent) and Constant Capital Limited (2.51 percent). Beyond this group, market shares declined sharply, with the remaining firms each contributing less than 2.1 percent of total value traded. In aggregate, the top five brokerage firms accounted for over 92 percent of total market value, leaving a marginal share to the broader cohort of industry participants. In terms of activity, total traded value reached GH¢7.48 billion (GH¢4.31 billion), with an aggregate volume of 1.54 billion shares (1.98 billion shares), reflecting sustained market liquidity and elevated trading intensity relative to prior periods. However, the distribution of this activity remained heavily skewed, reinforcing the structural imbalance within the brokerage ecosystem. Source: SEC, 2025 Fig 34: Industry Income Statement

Trading volumes rebounded significantly, supported by easing inflation, strengthening Cedi, and fiscal consolidation. Yields trended downward in line with interest rate declines, bolstering market sentiment for government issuances and signalling growing resilience. The year began with robust activity of GH¢58.14 billion, 43.4% higher than the first quarter of 2024, indicating significantly greater liquidity compared to the post-DDEP recovery phase. This elevated activity persisted through the fourth quarter, with the quarter closing at GH¢76.60 billion. Although the growth rate slowed to 20.9% compared to the third-quarter surge, sustained high volumes confirmed a stable and highly active market. In sum, the market recorded a cumulative trade volume of GH¢245.85 billion in 2025, fully recovering from the 2023 liquidity slump.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 124 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Source: GSE, 2025 Market activity remained skewed towards the short end of the yield curve, reflecting investors’ preference for short-tenor securities. Instruments with maturities of less than one year represented 51.7% of aggregate trade volume, indicative of a cautious investment allocation strategy prioritising liquidity preservation and duration risk containment. Government securities continue to dominate the market, however, corporate bonds are increasingly becoming significant. Government securities trading accounted for 97.3% of total monthly volumes, equivalent to GH¢239.27 billion. Although corporate securities remained modest in absolute terms, activity increased markedly, with traded volumes rising from GH¢2.33 billion in December 2024 to GH¢6.58 billion in December 2025. This expansion translated into an increase in market share from 1.3% to 2.7%. The renewed emphasis on corporate funding, supported by the introduction of the commercial paper market, is increasingly shaping corporate financing strategies. During the year, five new corporate debt issuances were recorded, bringing the total amount of funds raised to GH¢24.3 billion since the inception of the market. On the other hand, total outstanding corporate securities declined to GH¢8.34 billion in 2025 relative to GH¢9.02 billion in 2024. In addition, trading activity of locally-issued US dollar-denominated bonds improved. By end￾December 2025, the GFIM recorded 181 listed securities, comprising a mix of government bills and notes, government bonds, corporate bonds, and locally issued US dollar-denominated government bonds. The local US dollar-denominated bond market also recorded a recovery in activity. Trading volumes increased to US$5.65 million in 2025, compared to US$2.51 million in 2024, representing an approximate 125% year-on-year increase. Despite these positive domestic market developments, foreign investor participation remained subdued. Non-resident holdings of outstanding debt securities declined to 3.5% at year-end 2025, from 4.1% in 2024 and 5.6% in 2023, reflecting lingering post-restructuring risk perceptions, the shift toward short-term debt issuances which reduced the supply of longer￾dated instruments preferred by non-residents and index eligibility constraints. Source: SEC, 2025 based CSD data Fig 36: Holdings of Foreign Investors in Outstanding Debt Stocks Fixed Income Brokerage The fixed income market recorded a measured recovery, re-establishing its role as a portfolio stabiliser following the dislocations induced by the DDEP. Trading activity remained concentrated at the short end of the yield curve, reflecting persistent risk aversion and a pronounced preference for government securities. This positioning sustained liquidity and reinforced turnover dynamics across the market. Aggregate activity was robust, with sell-side transactions amounting to GH¢37.80 billion and buy-side trades reaching GH¢40.62 billion, underpinned by high volumes and active intermediation. Within this framework, market structure exhibited significant concentration. Fincap Securities Ltd and IC Securities (Ghana) Ltd dominated both sides of the market, jointly accounting for ~50 percent of sell-side value and 43 percent of buy-side value, underscoring their centrality to liquidity provision and price discovery. A secondary tier, led by Laurus Africa Securities Ltd, Constant Capital (Ghana) Ltd, and One Africa Securities Ltd, accounted for a further significant share, though at a clear distance from the leading intermediaries. Overall, the top five firms controlled over three-quarters of traded value on both sides of the market, indicating a structurally concentrated intermediation landscape.

In 2025, aggregate Assets Under Management (AUM) surpassed a record GH¢100 billion by the fourth quarter of the year to reach GH¢107.59 billion, with an annual growth rate of 25.7%. The industry’s performance was largely supported by strong equity market returns, particularly in the financial and consumer sectors, coupled with resilient fixed income activity driven by the short-end of the yield curve and a gradual improvement in corporate debt instruments. Source: SEC, 2025 Fig 37: Growth in Assets Under Management (AUM)

Annual Report & Financial Statements 127 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA A key driver of the industry’s expansion was the pension fund segment, which continued to dominate the market. Pension funds accounted for 74.1% of total AUM, equivalent to GH¢79.71 billion. This reflects a 27.6% year-on-year increase, underscoring the resilience and sustained growth of pension investments amid prevailing macroeconomic conditions. However, other schemes also posted strong performances signalling an increasing appetite for other investment products. Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) maintained growth momentum, posting a 32.9% year-on-year expansion in 2025 from a 15.5% year-on-year in 2024, with AUM reaching GH¢10.60 billion. Discretionary funds managed by licenced fund managers expanded marginally, growing by 9.3% year-on￾year (2024: 24.2%) to settle at GH¢15.11 billion. The Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) segment closed the year with an aggregate market value of approximately GH¢1.00 billion, representing a substantial increase from the GH¢0.55 billion recorded in 2024. The expansion reflects a combination of new capital inflows, portfolio growth and valuation effects, underscoring a gradual deepening of the REITs segment rather than being driven by underlying property market fundamentals, including rental income, occupancy rates, or development activity. Private funds recorded comparatively stronger growth during the year, with AUM expanding by 46.2% year-on-year (2024: 5.94%) to GH¢1.17 billion. This acceleration reflects renewed investor appetite for alternative investment strategies, supported by improved market sentiment, selective risk￾taking, and a gradual diversification away from traditional asset classes. The performance of private funds highlights their growing relevance within the broader asset management landscape, particularly as investors seek differentiated return profiles amid a transitioning macroeconomic environment. Source: SEC, 2025 Fig 38: Asset Under Management (By Sector) The industry in the reporting year remained structurally dominated by institutional investors, which accounted for 88 percent of total AUM, while retail participation was limited to 12 percent. The investor base was mainly domestic, with foreign participation remaining negligible at 0.27 percent. Investor mobilisation strengthened significantly, with fund inflows rising to GH¢9.3 billion, a 79 percent increase from 2024. This growth reflects a pronounced shift toward capital preservation, driven by elevated yields on short￾term government securities, moderating inflation, and improving macroeconomic stability, which collectively reinforced risk-adjusted return expectations. Asset allocation remained broadly stable, albeit with a marginal tilt toward liquidity. Money market instruments constituted 21 percent of AUM (2024: 23%), while capital market exposures moderated to 73 percent (2024: 74%). This rebalancing reflects tactical portfolio adjustments in response to prevailing yield dynamics and subdued liquidity conditions at the long end of the market following the DDEP. The residual allocation remained in cash and near-cash holdings, indicating a sustained precautionary liquidity posture. Source: SEC, 2025 Fig. 39: Asset Allocation

Annual Report & Financial Statements 128 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Source: SEC, 2025 Fig 40: Investor Disaggregation In 2025, the fund management industry continued to exhibit high concentration, even as the data reveal a modest shift toward a more balanced distribution of assets. The top quartile of fund managers collectively controlled 78–80 percent of total AUM, down slightly from 83 percent in 2024, signaling modest diffusion of assets toward smaller managers. Conversely, the long tail of fund managers, representing roughly 60–65 smaller firms, accounted for 20–22 percent of industry AUM, highlighting persistent structural concentration. At the apex, IC Asset Managers Ltd retained the largest share with GH¢17.89 billion, equivalent to 17.77 percent of total AUM. Its AUM allocations were heavily weighted toward pensions (GH¢16.11 billion MTM / GH¢17.20 billion HTM), stressing reliance on long-term institutional mandates for scale. Stanbic Investment Management Services Limited, with GH¢14.60 billion (13.92%), and Databank Asset Management Services Ltd. at GH¢9.67 billion (9.54%), completed the top three, collectively controlling 41.2 percent of the market. This distribution reflects both entrenched client bases and the scale benefits associated with diversified product offerings across CIS, pension, and REIT portfolios. A more granular inspection of portfolio composition reveals strategic positioning differences across top managers: • IC Asset Managers maintained a pronounced pension-centric structure, with AUM exposure in pensions representing ~90 percent of its total AUM, indicative of stable, long-duration liabilities. • Stanbic Investment Management Services exhibited a broader allocation, combining pension assets (~76% of total AUM) with significant CIS exposure (~17%), demonstrating tactical diversification into liquid instruments. • Databank Asset Management Services leveraged a balanced multi-asset strategy, blending pensions (~53%) with CIS (~18%) and REIT allocations (~29%), reflecting an approach that optimizes yield while managing liquidity risk. The second tier of managers, EDC Investments Ltd., Bora Capital Advisors Ltd., WAICA RE Capital Ltd., and CAL Asset Management Company Ltd., each captured 6–8 percent of industry AUM, cumulatively accounting for ~29 percent of total assets. Their dominance within the mid-upper quartile is primarily pension and REIT driven, though differences in HTM vs. MTM exposures suggest varying risk appetites and investment horizons. For instance, Bora Capital Advisors held GH¢8.06 billion in HTM REITs, highlighting a strategic tilt toward income-generating, long￾term instruments, whereas EDC Investments maintained parity between MTM and HTM exposures, suggesting flexibility for opportunistic trading in secondary markets. Analysis of the long tail of smaller managers indicates a steep Pareto distribution: 20 managers in the lower decile collectively manage under 5 percent of total AUM, reflecting high barriers to scale, limited institutional mandates, and the concentration of pension allocations among the largest firms. Notably, firms such as InvestCorp Asset Management Ltd., Black Star Advisors Ltd., and Sentinel Asset Management Ltd. exhibit AUM between GH¢3–4.5 billion, representing the threshold for top-tier competitiveness. Their MTM￾heavy allocations in CIS and REIT instruments imply an orientation toward yield optimization and shorter-duration investments. From a market dynamics perspective, the reshuffling of rankings among top 10 managers, reflects both inflow momentum and active asset allocation strategies in response to yield curves and secondary market conditions. The incremental decline in concentration among the top quartile suggests emerging competition, though scale advantages continue to consolidate market power among the largest institutions.

This performance marks a decisive turnaround from 2023, a period characterised by the Domestic Debt Exchange Programme (DDEP), during which both subscriptions and redemptions contracted to cyclical troughs amid heightened uncertainty, suppressed risk appetite, and acute liquidity constraints. The ability of fund managers of CISs to honour redemption requests strengthened further, stressing enhanced balance sheet resilience and improved cash flow management. Redemption payouts increased to GH¢1.01 billion in 2025 from GH¢0.62 billion in 2024, extending the recovery observed in the preceding year and signalling improved liquidity conditions within the industry. Consistent with these developments, the ratio of redemptions to net asset value (NAV) continued its gradual normalisation in 2025. While the ratio remained below long-run historical averages, the upward adjustment reflects a progressive rebalancing between inflows and outflows, reduced panic-driven withdrawals, and a stabilisation of investor behaviour as confidence in the CIS market continues to be restored. Source: SEC, 2025 Fig 41: CIS Performance Mutual Funds The performance of mutual funds over the review period mirrored the sustained recovery of the macro-financial landscape in Ghana, characterised by disinflationary pressures, moderating interest rates, and a rallying equities market. Within this context, equity-oriented mutual funds emerged as the dominant performers, bolstered by a strong recovery in the domestic bourse. This was reflected in the sustained rally of the GSE Composite Index, which rebounded markedly over the period (FY2025: 79.4%; FY2024: 56.17%; FY2023: 28.08%), signalling renewed investor confidence and improved corporate earnings prospects. Money market funds sustained their appeal among risk-averse investors, buttressed by heightened trading activity and a modest improvement in

Annual Report & Financial Statements 130 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA liquidity conditions on the Ghana Fixed Income Market. This bifurcated market performance reflects a nuanced investor landscape, characterised by a simultaneous pursuit of growth-oriented opportunities and a preference for capital preservation. Consequently, the average annual return across mutual funds increased to 24 percent, representing an improvement from 20 percent in 2024 and exceeding the five-year historical average. The average fund yields also remained above year￾end rates on 91-day and 182-day Treasury bills, signalling relative outperformance over sovereign risk-free benchmarks. On the flow side, the funds experienced a pronounced resurgence in investor mobilisation, reflecting both improving sentiment and reallocation of capital within the collective investment space. Total inflows into mutual funds surged to GH¢739.5 million, a significant increase from GH¢674.6 million in 2024. Consequently, mutual funds accounted for 47 percent of total Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) inflows, down from 60 percent in the prior year, signalling a shift in investor preference toward unit trusts. Unit trusts recorded inflows of GH¢845.6 million (2024: GH¢ GH¢454.8 million), representing 53 percent of total CIS inflows, a relative appreciation in market share from 40 percent in the previous year. This rebalancing suggests a gradual repositioning of investor portfolios, likely influenced by performance differentials, liquidity considerations, and evolving risk-return expectations. Investor payouts also expanded significantly, rising to GH¢484.2 million, representing a 73 percent year-on-year increase. This uptick reflects enhanced liquidity conditions within the CIS market, supported by improving secondary market activity and a broad-based recovery in investor confidence following earlier market dislocations. At the fund level, return dispersion remained significant, reflecting marked differences in strategic asset allocation, portfolio construction, fee structures, and managerial alpha generation across schemes. Performance was led by InvestCorp’s InvestCorp Active Equity Fund Plc, which posted an exceptional 78.32 percent annual return, signalling strong tactical positioning and superior market capture. DataBank also delivered broad￾based outperformance, with DataBank Balanced Fund Plc (69.37 percent), Databank Ark Fund Plc (68.69%), Databank EPACK Investment Fund Plc (62.83%), and DataBank Educational Investment Fund Plc (57.14%) generating strong absolute and risk-adjusted returns, indicative of robust security selection and portfolio optimization. Industry concentration remained pronounced, with DataBank MFund Plc dominating market structure, accounting for 35.44 percent of client accounts and 24.75 percent of aggregate NAV (GH¢1.13 billion), underscoring scale advantages, distribution depth, and liquidity preference among investors. Capital flows similarly reflected strong investor confidence in liquid and income-generating mandates, particularly IC Liquidity Fund Plc and Plus Income Fund Plc, which recorded substantial subscriptions alongside stable yield profiles. From an efficiency standpoint, cost-adjusted performance varied materially across funds. IC Liquidity Fund Plc delivered a solid 15.47 percent return at a relatively low TER of 1.90 percent, demonstrating operational efficiency and effective yield conversion.

Industry net asset value (NAV) expanded to GH¢6.03 billion, representing a 26 percent year-on￾year increase from GH¢4.77 billion in 2024, while the number of unit holders rose by 11 percent (FY2024: 43%) to 318,130, signalling continued market deepening and stronger retail penetration. Gross subscriptions surged by 86 percent to GH¢845.6 million (FY2024: GH¢455 million), materially outpacing the GH¢526.1 million in redemptions, resulting in positive net inflows and reinforcing the sector’s strong liquidity and accumulation dynamics. The redemption-to-NAV ratio of ~9 percent (FY2024: 7%) further suggests healthy portfolio rebalancing and improved market liquidity rather than stress￾induced withdrawals. At the fund level, performance dispersion remained pronounced, reflecting differences in duration positioning, asset allocation strategy, yield capture, and operating efficiency. Gold Fund Unit Trust emerged as the best-performing fund with an annual return of 63.29 percent at a relatively efficient TER of ~2 percent, indicating strong net-of￾fee alpha generation. This was followed by Fidelity Balanced Trust (44%), Stanbic Income Fund Trust (34%), AIM Multi￾Asset Trust (32%), and Cal Advantage Balanced Unit Trust (32%), each benefiting from effective portfolio construction and tactical positioning across fixed￾income and diversified mandates. In contrast, Sentinel Africa Eurobond Trust (-13.34 percent) recorded negative returns, reflecting adverse mark-to￾market valuation effects, currency risk exposure, and duration sensitivity in external fixed-income holdings. Market concentration remained structurally high. EDC Ghana Fixed Income Unit Trust dominated the market with 35.45 percent of total industry NAV (GH¢2.14 billion), followed by Stanbic Cash Trust (28.05 percent; GH¢1.69 billion) and Stanbic Income Fund Trust (11.35 percent; GH¢684.2 million). The top three funds accounted for 74.9 percent of aggregate industry NAV, underscoring a highly concentrated, scale-driven market structure characterised by strong institutional franchises, liquidity depth, and investor preference for large, established income-oriented vehicles. Republic Unit Trust, while commanding the largest client base (33.3 percent of unit holders), accounted for 8.99 percent of NAV, suggesting a predominantly retail investor composition with relatively smaller average ticket sizes. percent of NAV with only 1,775 investors, indicating large average holdings. Similarly, funds such as Enhanced Equity Beta Fund and DataBank EPACK Investment Fund Plc maintain sizable assets with relatively few investors, suggesting niche, high-value participation. The remaining funds, though fragmented, account for 47 percent of NAV, highlighting scope for broader market participation and diversification.

Total traded volume declined by 67.0% to 1,703.68 metric tonnes (MT) in 2025, compared with 5,161.03 MT in the previous year, while total trade value fell by 59.2% to GH¢9.89 million. Settlement values similarly contracted by 59.6% to GH¢9.41 million. This deceleration reflects reduced commodity inflows into licenced warehouses, weak demand dynamics and transitional adjustments following the prior year’s surge in activity. Source: SEC, 2025 based Ghana Commodities Exchange (GCX) data Fig 42: GCX Trade Source: SEC, 2025 based GCX data Fig 43: Number of Warehouses and Approved Commodities The market also continues to be highly concentrated. Trading activity in 2025 was concentrated in two commodities, maize and soybean, with no recorded transactions in sorghum, sesame, or rice, underscoring the increasingly narrow commodity base. Maize maintained its dominance, accounting for 1,508.80 MT, representing 88.6% of total traded volume; however, this reflects a year-on￾year decline of 67.2% from 4,604.38 MT in 2024.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 133 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Similarly, soybean recorded a traded volume of 194.87 MT, contributing 11.4% of total volume, but declined by 61.9% from 511.65 MT in the previous year. The contraction across both commodities points to subdued market participation and weaker demand conditions over the review period. Price developments during the year mirrored the moderation in trading activity. Average closing prices for maize declined by 9.7% to GH¢3,970.00 per MT, while soybean prices recorded a sharper correction of 56.7% to GH¢3,602.00 per MT. The observed price adjustments contributed to lower aggregate trade values and underscore the sensitivity of the commodities market to demand fluctuations and input cost dynamics. Warehouse activity also softened in 2025, with the northern regions remaining the key hub. Total commodity deposits declined significantly from 5,587.52 MT in 2024 to 3,016.90 MT in 2025, representing a 46.0% contraction, while releases fell more sharply by 65.3% to 1,798.10 MT, reflecting subdued off-take demand and reduced trading activity. Despite this downturn, northern warehouses remained central to storage and distribution operations, with Tumu, Tamale, Wa, and Sandema accounting for the majority of activity. Tumu emerged as the leading hub, recording deposits of 900.85 MT (+47.8%) and releases of 788.95 MT (+358.0%), underlining its role as a key aggregation and throughput centre. In contrast, Tamale and Wa recorded mixed performance, with deposits declining to 481.25 MT (–62.7%) and 450.20 MT (–7.0%), respectively, although Wa experienced increased releases, indicating stock drawdowns. Sandema saw a pronounced contraction in deposits to 271.00 MT (–87.0%), while Bolgatanga recorded no activity, reflecting limited tradable surplus in the Upper East region. This geographic concentration highlights the continued importance of the northern corridor in supporting commodities supply chains and market liquidity. Source: SEC, 2025 based GCX data Fig 44: Warehouse Capacity From a financial stability perspective, the moderation in Ghana Commercial Exchange activity did not pose systemic risks, given the Exchange’s relatively contained size within the broader financial system. However, the contraction underscores structural challenges related to commodity aggregation, warehouse utilisation, and sustained buyer participation. The Ghana Commodities Exchange’s (GCX) operational framework remained resilient, supported by established settlement arrangements and regulatory oversight, ensuring that market confidence and transactional integrity were preserved throughout the year. In the outlook, a gradual recovery in GCX activity is expected in 2026. This outlook is supported by improved harvest prospects, introduction of an over-the-counter (OTC) and an auction market to enhance participation, expanded commodity offerings, and ongoing efforts to strengthen warehouse receipt financing and market access. These developments are expected to reinforce GCX’s role in agricultural market development while supporting broader objectives of market efficiency, inclusion, and financial stability.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 138 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA Corporate Social Responsibility The Commission did not undertake any corporate social responsibility during the year under review. Conflict of Interest The Commission has established appropriate conflict authorisation procedures, whereby actual or potential conflicts are regularly reviewed, and authorisations sought as appropriate if any.

During the year, no such conflicts arose, and no such authorisations were sought and documented.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 139 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA 03 REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Opinion We have audited the Financial Statements of the Commission which comprises the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2025, the Statement of Financial Performance, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Accumulated Fund for the financial year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes set out on pages 142 to 159. In our opinion, these Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Statement of Financial Position of the Commission as at 31 December 2025, and of its Statement of Financial Performance and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) including the IAS 19, Hyperinflation directive issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana, the Company’s Act, 2019 (Act 992) and in the manner required by the Securities Industry Act, 2016 (Act 929) as amended by Securities Industry (Amendment) Act, 2021 (Act 1062). Basis of Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Commission in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), including the International Independence Standards and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have no key audit matters to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Board of Commissioners for the Financial Statements Members of the Board of Commissioners are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) and in the manner required by the provision of the Securities Industry Act, 2016 (Act 929) as amended by Securities Industry (Amendment) Act, 2021 (Act 1062). Members of the Board are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the Financial Statements, the Board Members are responsible for

Annual Report & Financial Statements 140 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA assessing the Commission’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Commission or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Members of the Board are responsible for overseeing the Commission’s financial reporting process. Responsibilities of the Auditors for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS CONTINUED to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commission’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Assess the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Commission’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Audit Report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Audit Report. However, future events or conditions which are beyond the scope of this Report may cause the Commission to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Communicate with the Board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The object of the Commission is to regulate and promote the growth and development of an efficient, fair and transparent securities market in which investors, and the integrity of the markets are protected.

2.

The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention as modified by revaluation of certain Non-Current Assets.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES The preparation of the Commission’s Annual Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates may result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 4.1 Revenue Recognition 4.1.1 Exchange Transactions Revenue from exchange transactions comprising the fees charged for applications fees, licence fees, transaction levy, depository fees, approval fees, sales of publications, income from education programs, etc. The revenue from the above stated services/fees are recognised in the period in which the related services are undertaken, all other income including interest are recognised on accrual basis. Revenue from fees received for applications not published at the reporting date is deferred until published. 4.1.2 Non-Exchange Transactions Revenue from non-exchange transactions such as fines and penalties raised for late submission of Returns are recognised on accrual basis less impairment, voluntary contributions to SEC supported by enforceable agreements is recognized as revenue at the time the agreement becomes binding unless the agreement includes conditions related to specific performance or the return of unexpended balances.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 147 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA revenue recognition and then revenue is recognized as the liability is discharged through performance of the specific conditions included in the agreement. 4.1.3 Other Revenue 4.1.3.1 Interest Income Interest Income for all financial assets are accrued and recognised within interest income in the Statement of Financial Performance using effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of financial assets or a financial liability and allocating the interest income or interest expenses over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instruments or where appropriate a shorter period of the net carrying amounts of the financial assets or financial liabilities. 4.1.3.2 Fees Income Fees Income are generally recognised on an accrual basis, fees income arising from provision of service to capital market operators is recognised over the period the service rendered. The fees earned by the Commission is for services rendered in the registration of bonds and shares and other market transactions including the Ghana Stock Exchange. 4.2 Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost as modified by revaluation of land less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management. 4.2.1 Subsequent Expenditure The cost of replacing part of an item of property or equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Commission and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognized in Statement of Performance as incurred. 4.2.2 Depreciation and Amortisation Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Full year’s depreciation provision is made irrespective of the date of purchase. Normal repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to operating expenses during the financial period in which they are incurred. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An assets’ carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 4.2.3 Gains/Loss on Disposal of Property Plant and Equipment Profit or loss on disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance as the excess of the proceeds on disposal after deducting the carrying amount of the assets at date of disposal and selling cost. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows: ASSETS USEFUL YEARS Land Buildings Computers and Accessories Office Equipment Plant and Machinery Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings Motor Vehicles Nil 20 years 3 years 4 years 5 years 5 years 5 years

Annual Report & Financial Statements 148 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA 4.2.4 Capital Work-in-Progress Property and equipment under construction is stated at initial cost and depreciated from the date the asset is made available for use over its estimated useful life. Assets are transferred from capital work in progress to an appropriate category of property and equipment when commissioned and ready for its intended use. 4.2.5 Intangible Assets - Computer Software Acquired computer software licences and intellectual property are capitalised on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets over three years. Intangible Assets 3 years 4.3 Research Costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. 4.4 Library Acquisition As a policy, library books and other library materials are written off since the Capital Market related regulations and rules are subject to rapid changes due to the fast-changing market conditions in the world. 4.5 Retirement Benefits 4.5.1 Defined Contribution Retirement Plan The Commission has a defined contribution plan for its employees in respect of which the Commission pays contribution to publicly and privately administered pension funds on a mandatory or contractual basis. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Under the plan, the Commission pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current or prior periods. 4.5.2 Medical Aid Benefits Employer contributions to a medical aid are recognised as an expense in the period during which the employees render services to the Commission. 4.5.3 Post-Retirement Medical Aid Benefits￾Defined Benefit Plan The Commission has an obligation to provide certain post-retirement medical aid benefits to its eligible employees and pensioners. The Commission is required to provide a defined amount of the medical aid contribution due. The present value of the future medical aid subsidies for current service costs is actuarially determined annually in accordance with number of qualified employees. 4.6 Gratuity Provision This relates to the policy to pay a gratuity on death, retrenchment, or retirement when a staff of the Commission is exiting. Study and research leave may be granted to allow Commission’s staff uninterrupted research work, usually away from Ghana and is not regarded as a vacation. The method used in determining the value of this provision is one where a discount rate is applied against projected valuation in order to establish a present value. 4.7 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of the asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense. 4.8 Foreign Currency Translation

Annual Report & Financial Statements 149 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA The Commission’s Annual Financial Statements are presented in Ghana Cedis, which is the Commission’s functional and presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the prevailing exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to surplus or deficit in the year in which they arise. Non-monetary items carried at cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, whilst assets carried at fair value are translated at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised directly in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognised directly in other comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non￾monetary item is recognised directly in surplus or deficit, any exchange component of that gain or loss shall be recognised directly in surplus or deficit. 4.9 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The Commission assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Commission makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an assets’ fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less cost to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in surplus or deficit. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the assets’ carrying amount less any residual value on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. 4.10 Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the sales less cost to sell of inventories. Cost is determined in accordance with the first in first out cost method. Inventories are made up of basically consumables. 4.11 Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable are recognised initially at fair value. A provision for impairment of account receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Commission will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables or debits. 4.12 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Commission

Annual Report & Financial Statements 150 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Commission expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the surplus or deficit net of any reimbursement. 4.13 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the Statement of Financial Position at cost. Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash on hand, balances with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 4.14 Accounts Payable Accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers or service providers. Accounts payable are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method if long term. 4.15 Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date or; whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets, or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. 4.15.1 Commission as a Lessee The Commission applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Commission recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. • Right of Use Assets Right of use assets are measured at the commencement date of the lease, equal to the lease liability raised. Subsequently, the right￾of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right of use of assets are depreciated on a straight￾line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If the ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Commission at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. • Lease Liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Commission recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Commission exercising the option to terminate. Variable payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. • Short-term Leases and Leases of Low-value Assets The Commission applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of property. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as

Annual Report & Financial Statements 151 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 4.15.2 Commission as a Lessor Leases where the Commission does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operating leases is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rentals are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. 4.16 Taxation The Commission is not a taxable entity. No provision is therefore made in these Financial Statements with respect to corporate taxes. 4.17 Financial Assets 4.17.1 Classification The Commission classifies its Financial Assets as ‘Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost’. A Financial Instrument is classified as financial asset at amortized cost’ when both criteria outlined below are met; a) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows; and b) The contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. 4.17.2 Recognition and Derecognition Regular way purchase and sale of Financial Assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Commission commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial Assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the Financial Assets have expired or have been transferred and the Commission has transferred substantially the risks and rewards of ownership. 4.17.3 Measurement At initial recognition, the Commission measures its Financial Assets at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in surplus or deficit and presented in other gains / (losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. 4.17.4 Impairment The Commission assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments are carried at amortized cost. The Commission applies IPSAS 41, general approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all investment at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. To measure the expected credit losses, investments have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates based on the payment profiles of counter parties and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors (where data is available and is obtained without undue effort or cost) affecting the ability of the counter parties to settle the investments. 4.18 Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Model The Commission follows a three-stage approach to impairment for its financial assets.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 152 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA

• Stage 1: When a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition has not occurred, a 12-month ECL is recognized for all Stage 1 financial assets. Stage 1 financial assets are considered performing.
• Stage 2: When a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition has occurred, a lifetime ECL is recognised. Stage 2 financial assets are underperforming but not yet defaulted.
• Stage 3: There is significant increase in credit risk reflecting 90 days past due and considered credit impaired at the reporting date. Stage 3 financial assets are nonperforming. The Commission’s ECL models use three key input parameters for the calculation of the Expected Credit Losses, being: • Probability of Default (PD), • Exposure at Default (EAD) and • Loss Given Default (LGD). The Probability of Default (PD) is the estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. Key drivers include investment characteristics which are adjusted with forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios that are likely to impact the risk of default. In estimating the Commission’s PDs, a historical default analysis was carried out over a 3-years period. Exposure at Default (EAD) represents the expected balance at default after taking into account any projected repayment of principal and interest together with any expected drawdowns of committed facilities until the default event occurs. The EAD will be discounted back to the reporting date using the effective interest rate (EIR) determined at initial recognition. Discounting is calculated over a 12-month period for Stage 1 investments or over either the behavioural life or the remaining term life, whichever is shorter, for Stage 2 financial assets. Loss given default (LGD) represents the expected losses on the EAD after taking into account cash recoveries, discounted over the time it is expected to be realized. Expected cash recoveries are discounted at the original EIR of the investment, back to the default date. 4.19 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognized when they are redeemed or otherwise extinguished. 4.20 Offsetting Financial Instruments Financial Assets and Liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realised the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 4.20.1 Materiality and Aggregation Each material class of similar item is presented separately in the Financial Statements. Items of dissimilar nature or function are presented separately unless they are immaterial. 4.20.2 Offsetting Assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses are not offset unless required or permitted by International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) or the offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event, detracts from the ability of users both to understand the transactions, other events and condition that occurred to assess the Commission’s future Cash Flows. 4.21 Financial Risk Management Taking risk is core in the business of the Commission. In the performing of its statutory duties, the Commission analyses, evaluates and assumes positions of taking calculated risks. The degree of risk management taken on by the Commission is meant to be within what it can

Annual Report & Financial Statements 153 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA comfortably manage. The Commission’s aim is therefore to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The most important types of risk faced by the Commission include: • Credit Risk • Liquidity Risk • Market Risk (i.e., risk related to currency trading, interest rate and other price risks) • Operational Risk 4.21.1 Risk Management Framework The Board of Commissioners has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Commission’s risk management framework. The Commission has established an internal Risk Management Committee which reviews the reports of the Risk Management Department. The Audit Committee of the Commission further reviews the reports of the Risk Management Department and submit a report on their activities to the Board. The Commission’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Commission, set appropriate risk limits and controls, and monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions, products and services offered. Through the compliance function, the Commission ensures it complies with all regulatory guidelines in the pursuit of efficient and effective opportunities while avoiding excessive, unnecessary and uncontrollable risk exposures. Risk is an inherent feature in the business of the industry; therefore various mitigating measures are put in place to better manage risk. All risk management policies are formulated at the board level through the Finance and Administration Committee of the Board. The Commission, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment, in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Committee is responsible among other things for authorizing the scope of the risk management function and renewing and assessing the integrity of the risk control systems, ensuring that the risk policies and strategies are effectively managed. 4.21.2 Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of potential financial loss to the Commission if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, arises principally from the Commission’s investment securities. For risk management reporting purposes, the Commission considers and consolidates all elements of credit risk exposure. 4.21.2.1 Management of Credit Risk The Board’s Financial and Administrative Committee manages the risk of the Commission with the assistance of the Risk Management Committee. The Board’s Financial and Administrative Committee fundamentally: • Sets out the nature, role, responsibility and authority of the risk management function within the Commission and outlines the scope of the risk management function. • Reviews and assesses the integrity of the risk control systems and ensures that the risk policies and strategies are effectively managed. • Provides an independent and objective oversight and reviews the information presented by Management and to the Board on financial, business and strategic risk issues. • Adopts the principles of governance and codes of best practice. The purpose of the Board’s Finance and Administration Committee in relation to investments is to: • Oversee the investment risk function of the Commission to ensure a healthy investment portfolio.

Annual Report & Financial Statements 154 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA • Set and determine the Commission’s investment policy and general risk climate. • Review on a quarterly basis the monitoring of policy compliance, compliance of portfolio against standards and recommend for appropriate remedial action to be taken. • Ensure key triggers are kept under review and stress tests on the portfolio are conducted whenever significant changes occur or are anticipated. • Agree portfolio targets, industry and credit grading concentrations. • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements in investment delivery. 4.21.3 Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk represents whether an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities from its financial assets. The Commission’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Commission’s reputation. The Finance Department maintains a portfolio of short-term liquid assets, largely made up of short-term liquid investment securities, to ensure that sufficient liquidity is maintained within the Commission as a whole. 4.21.3.1 Exposure to Liquidity Risk The key measure used by the Commission for managing liquidity risk is the ratio of net liquid assets to total liabilities. For this purpose, net liquid assets are considered as including cash and cash equivalents and investment-grade debt securities for which there is an active and liquid market less any debt securities and liabilities, other borrowings and commitments maturing within the next month. 4.21.3.2 Residual Contractual Maturities of Financial Liabilities The Commission’s cash flow may however vary significantly from this analysis. For example, accounts payable funding is maintained for longer periods than the contractual maturity dates hence the liquidity base is considered to be of a stable and long-term nature. 4.21.4 Market risks Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rate, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and credit spreads (not relating to changes in the obligor’s-issuer’s credit standing) will affect the Commission’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing the return on risk. 4.21.4.1 Management of Market Risks Overall responsibility for the management of market risk rests with the Finance and Administration Committee. The Risk Department is responsible for the development of detailed market risk management policies (subject to review and approval by the Board) and for the day-to-day implementation of those policies. 4.21.4.2 Interest Rate Risk The Commission is exposed to the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace

Annual Report & Financial Statements 155 2025 ANNUAL REPORT | SEC GHANA interest-bearing assets as they mature at an acceptable cost are important factors in assessing the Commission’s exposure to changes in interest rates and liquidity. 4.21.5 Operational Risks Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Commission’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Commission’s operations and are faced by all business entities. Operational risks relate to the risk that the Commission’s operations may be halted temporarily or permanently by inadequate internal and/or systems controls, allowing for people to take advantage to commit fraud. The Commission’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the Commission’s reputation as a Regulator with overall cost￾effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity. The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior management within each Business Unit. This responsibility is supported by the development of overall standards for the management of operational risk in the following areas: • requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorisation of transactions. • requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions. • compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements. • documentation of controls and procedures. • requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address the risks identified. • requirements for the reporting of operational losses and proposed remedial action. • development of contingency plans. • training and professional development. • ethical and business standards. • risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective. Compliance with the Commission’s standards is supported by a programme of continuous reviews by the Commission’s Risk Management function and periodic reviews by the Internal Audit Department. The reports on these reviews are discussed at the Risk Management Committee with issues being escalated to the Board Audit Committee when necessary.
