The Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has reaffirmed government’s commitment to fiscal discipline and sustainable growth as Ghana enters a new phase of economic recovery.
While presenting the Budget Statement and Government Economic Policy for the 2026 financial year in Parliament on Thursday, November 13, 2025, Dr. Forson said the government’s focus over the medium term is to maintain stability while investing in key sectors to improve livelihoods.
“Our focus for 2026 and the medium term is to maintain a primary surplus of 1.5% of GDP on a commitment basis, reduce debt vulnerabilities and create the fiscal space needed to invest in infrastructure, jobs and social protection,” he stated.
He explained that these measures are aimed at consolidating the gains made in restoring macroeconomic stability and ensuring that fiscal prudence supports inclusive development.
“We are pursuing a disciplined, data-driven fiscal strategy — one that raises more revenue better and protects the most vulnerable while safeguarding long-term stability,” the minister added.
