Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, is set to present the 2026 Budget and Economic Policy to Parliament on Wednesday, November 13. This will be the first full-year budget under President John Mahama since his return to office and is being described as a crucial test of his administration’s economic strategy.

The budget comes as Ghana prepares to exit its IMF programme in 2026, facing mounting pressure to grow the economy, create jobs, and manage rising public debt.

Expectations are high for a clear plan to rationalise taxes, with the business community calling for policies that support local industries and boost investor confidence.
