Professional services firm PwC is challenging the government to remain focused on delivering the targets outlined in the 2026 national budget.
While the budget has been widely welcomed by Ghanaians, the firm stressed that effective implementation of its allocations must be prioritised.
Speaking at the 2026 PwC Post-Budget Forum in Accra, Country Senior Partner at PwC Ghana, Vish Ashiagbor called on the government to stay committed to its stated priorities to ensure the country fully benefits from the policy direction.
“People are generally pleased with what they are hearing from the budget. For example, the priorities the Minister laid out — stability, consolidating economic gains, growth, security, and social intervention — are appreciated as steps in the right direction,” he said.
“As you may have heard, the slight question mark is around implementation. As a country, we are good at documenting plans, but delivery has often been a challenge. However, there is renewed optimism that this time we will put real energy into implementation to ensure we all derive the benefits.”
Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson on Thursday, November 11, presented the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament under the theme “Resetting for Growth, Jobs and Economic Transformation.” The budget outlines a renewed national commitment to prudent fiscal management, job creation, and long-term economic restructuring.
