Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, says the 2026 Budget must be a key tool for transforming Ghana’s economy and reducing dependence on external support.
Speaking at a Post-Budget Workshop in Accra, he described the budget as a roadmap for self-reliance and long-term growth.
“A common refrain echoes across Africa: ‘Africa is not poor, it is poorly managed, and the budget is the clearest expression of that management.’ At this pivotal moment, our budget must serve as a primary instrument for transforming Ghana’s economic paradigm,” he said.
He added that the policies in the budget should focus on building a resilient, domestically driven economy.
“The policies contained in this budget must steer us away from dependency towards a resilient, domestically driven economy. Honorable members, data tells a clear and urgent story. Reform cannot wait,” Bagbin said.
