The Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, appeared before Parliament yesterday, Thursday, July 23, to present the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review.

The Mid-Year Budget Review in Ghana is a statutory requirement under Section 28 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921). It is expected to be presented to Parliament by July 31 each year and serves as an accountability mechanism to assess fiscal performance and adjust policy.

It is anchored in the constitutional principles of transparency and accountability under Articles 179 and 187 of the 1992 Constitution.

This year’s Mid-Year Budget Review was framed around macroeconomic recovery, fiscal discipline, and debt sustainability. The Finance Minister stressed that Ghana would not introduce new taxes or a supplementary budget, instead focusing on consolidating gains from revenue reforms, stabilizing inflation, and strengthening fiscal rules.
