Ato Forson to Present 2027 Budget, ‘The New Economy’, on November 12

Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Ato Forson, is set to present the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

The upcoming budget, which has been titled “The New Economy,” is expected to outline the government’s economic priorities, spending plans and policy direction for the 2027 fiscal year.

The presentation will provide an opportunity for the Finance Minister to explain the government’s plans for managing the economy, mobilising revenue, controlling public expenditure and supporting economic growth.

As part of the annual budget process, Parliament is expected to receive details of the government’s financial projections, including expected revenue, planned expenditure and measures aimed at addressing key economic challenges.

The 2027 budget is also expected to attract considerable attention from businesses, workers, investors and other stakeholders, given the impact government fiscal decisions have on various sectors of the economy.

The title, “The New Economy,” suggests a focus on the government’s economic direction and its plans for shaping Ghana’s financial and development priorities in the coming year. However, the specific policies and programmes under the theme will become clearer when the Finance Minister delivers the statement.

The budget presentation is one of the major responsibilities of the Finance Minister and forms an important part of Ghana’s parliamentary and economic calendar.

Following the presentation, Members of Parliament are expected to scrutinise the proposals and deliberate on the measures outlined by the government before the budget is considered for approval.
