Parliament has commenced the debate on the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy, a document presented last Thursday, November 13, 2025, by the Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
Titled ‘Resetting for Growth, Jobs, and Economic Transformation,’ the budget outlines the government’s strategic priorities for the coming year, focusing on consolidating macroeconomic stability, accelerating economic transformation and job creation (including the “24-Hour Economy” initiative), and strengthening the security and social sectors.
Dr. Forson’s presentation highlighted significant progress in economic recovery, citing a reported drop in inflation to 8% by October 2025 and an expansion of Real GDP by 6.3% in the first half of 2025.
