Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has presented the 2025 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament today.

This was the Mahama administration’s first major financial plan.

The budget introduced critical policies aimed at economic stability, fostering growth, and addressing fiscal concerns.

A key highlight is the proposed abolition of certain contentious taxes, including the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), the COVID-19 Health Levy, and the Betting Tax.

These taxes, introduced by the previous administration, have been widely criticized for adding to the financial burden of citizens.
