Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson to Present 2027 Budget to Parliament on November 12

The Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson, is set to present the government’s 2027 Budget Statement to Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.

The presentation will outline the government’s economic priorities, fiscal policies and development plans for the coming year, giving Ghanaians a clear picture of how the administration intends to manage the economy and fund its programmes in 2027.

The budget is expected to cover a wide range of issues, including revenue generation, expenditure plans, borrowing and debt management, as well as the government’s strategies for promoting growth and creating jobs. It will also highlight key policy interventions aimed at addressing the needs of citizens and supporting various sectors of the economy.

Ahead of the presentation, there is heightened public interest in how the government plans to tackle pressing economic challenges, including the cost of living, inflation and the management of public finances. Stakeholders, including businesses, civil society organisations and development partners, are expected to scrutinise the budget for signals on the direction of government policy.

The Finance Minister’s presentation will be followed by parliamentary debate, during which Members of Parliament will examine the proposals and make their input before the budget is approved.

The 2027 Budget Statement comes at a critical time for the country, as the government seeks to balance the need for fiscal discipline with the demand for investment in key sectors such as health, education, infrastructure and social protection.

Ghanaians will be looking to the Minister for clarity on how the government intends to navigate the challenges ahead while delivering on its promises and promoting sustainable development.
