The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) says the deployment of its artificial intelligence-powered Publican AI system has contributed to a significant increase in customs revenue, with collections reaching GH¢6.1 billion in July 2026.
Commissioner-General of the GRA, Anthony Sarpong, said monthly customs revenue averaged about GH¢4 billion before the full implementation of the system, indicating an increase of about GH¢2.1 billion in July.
According to Dr Sarpong, the full implementation of Publican AI began in April 2026 as part of customs reforms aimed at improving the valuation of imported goods and enhancing revenue mobilisation.
He said the reforms have resulted in steady growth in customs collections, with revenue rising to GH¢5.5 billion in June before hitting GH¢6.1 billion in July.
In the month of July, we collected GH¢6.1 billion, which means that our customs reforms are working.”
