Ghana’s 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy, entitled “The New Economy”, is scheduled for presentation to Parliament at approximately 18:00 hours on Thursday, 12 November 2026.
The Rt. Hon. Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, made the announcement on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, following his approval of a formal request by the Honourable Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, to reschedule the presentation from a conventional daytime sitting to an evening session. The Speaker indicated that the Minister had advanced sound reasons for the proposed timing, although the specific grounds were not elaborated upon in the House. Accordingly, Parliament will revise its order of business for Thursday to ensure that Members are not unduly fatigued prior to the Minister’s attendance.
The date of 12 November had previously been communicated to the House by the Majority Leader, Hon. James Agalga. The presentation is mandated under Article 179 of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana. The Budget Statement is expected to articulate the Government’s revenue projections, expenditure priorities and measures aimed at employment generation. A three-day post-budget workshop for Members of Parliament and other relevant stakeholders is scheduled to take place from 15 to 17 November 2026 in Ho.
