Dr Forson’s presentation is expected to outline the government’s revenue and expenditure projections for the 2026 fiscal year, along with key policy measures aimed at stabilising the economy, creating jobs, and sustaining growth.
The 2026 Budget comes at a time when the government faces heightened expectations over economic recovery, fiscal discipline, and the successful implementation of the ongoing International Monetary Fund (IMF) program, which is scheduled to conclude next year.
Following the Finance Minister’s presentation in Parliament, lawmakers are expected to commence debates on the budget, with sectoral discussions to take place in the ensuing weeks before its final approval.
