The Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, is currently presenting the highly anticipated 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament today, Thursday, July 24, 2025.
The presentation is taking place amid heightened public and political interest, with many watching to see whether the government will maintain its original expenditure framework or request a supplementary budget in response to fiscal pressures and global economic developments.
The country’s Financial Administration Act mandates this review. It aligns with Section 28 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), which requires the Finance Minister to update Parliament on the execution of the national budget and outline the fiscal strategy for the remaining half of the year.
Dr Forson’s presentation also comes at a time when Ghana’s macroeconomic indicators have shown notable improvement, raising expectations for a budget policy that promotes fiscal discipline, boosts investor confidence, and ensures long-term price stability.
