Finance Minister to unveil new economic strategy in Mid-Year Budget Review
Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Finance Minister, is expected to unveil the government's much-anticipated New Economic Policy when he presents the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Thursday, July 23. The new policy agenda is expected to mark the government's transition from economic stabilisation to long-term growth, while consolidating recent macroeconomic gains.
The framework will build on fiscal reforms and economic recovery measures introduced by the Mahama administration, focusing on sustainable job creation, higher productivity, economic resilience, and inclusive growth. Dr. Forson is also expected to brief Parliament on Ghana's recently concluded IMF Extended Credit Facility (ECF) programme and the country's transition to the new Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI). He will outline government plans to maintain fiscal discipline, provide an assessment of the economy over the past year, and update Parliament on progress made under Ghana's external debt restructuring programme. Details on Ghana's improved debt-sustainability position following recent International Monetary Fund assessments are also expected. On the fiscal front, the Finance Minister is expected to present revenue performance for the first half of 2026 and explain how government intends to manage expenditure while protecting priority sectors during the remainder of the year.
