Ghana’s Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, will present the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy of the Government to Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6:00 pm, according to Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin.
Speaker Bagbin approved the evening request and adjusted the House’s sitting time to prevent fatigue among the Members of Parliament (MPs).
The fiscal and economic policy of the government for 2027 will be under the theme “The New Economy,” which, according to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications, is a comprehensive four-year economic programme.
Key focus areas the budget is expected to outline include job creation, higher incomes, productivity, economic transformation, and technology-driven growth.
Meanwhile, the Minority Caucus in Parliament has asked the government to account for its flagship 24-hour economy policy.
The MP for Ofoase Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, says that after failing to implement the 24-hour policy, the government has repackaged it into the New Economy to throw dust in the public’s eyes. Enditem
