The government of Ghana is expected to end the year with total revenues of GH¢225.9 billion, a key indicator of fiscal performance that will shape the 2026 Budget and economic recovery efforts.
Ghana’s government expects to collect GH¢225.9 billion in revenue for 2025, slightly above the earlier projection of GH¢223.8 billion, representing about 16% of GDP.
By the end of September, revenue and grants totaled GH¢154.9 billion, a 22.8% increase from 2024 but 4.7% below the target, mainly due to underperformance in import duties and some direct taxes, partially offset by stronger non-tax revenue.
If the revised forecast holds, it reflects modest progress in revenue mobilisation, supporting funding for public services, infrastructure, and debt obligations.
Experts warn that revenue remains vulnerable to factors like import activity, exchange rates, and commodity prices, highlighting the need for tax-base expansion, compliance improvements, and stronger domestic revenue mobilisation to reduce reliance on borrowing.
