Finance Minister to present 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review today
Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson is expected to present the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament today, Thursday, July 23, outlining the government's fiscal performance during the first half of the year and its economic policy direction for the remaining months of 2026. The review is expected to assess the economy's performance against the targets set in the 2026 Budget, which sought to transition Ghana from macroeconomic stabilisation to sustained economic growth while maintaining fiscal discipline.
Since the budget was presented in November 2025, key economic indicators have shown stronger-than-expected performance, with inflation declining to 5.3 per cent. The Finance Minister is also expected to provide updates on revenue mobilisation, public expenditure, debt management, and financing plans for the second half of the year. Government is widely expected to maintain its current tax policy, with indications suggesting the review will not introduce new taxes but will instead focus on implementing existing fiscal measures to preserve macroeconomic stability. The review is also anticipated to update Parliament on Ghana's transition from the International Monetary Fund's Extended Credit Facility programme to the Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI).
