Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has allowed Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson to present the 2027 budget in the evening, at 6pm on Thursday 12 November. The document, titled “The New Economy”, is to set revenue targets and spending priorities, with no new loans, according to 3News.
Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin announced on Tuesday 10 November that Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson will present the 2027 budget on Thursday 12 November from 6pm, rather than during the daytime sitting. Bagbin said he had accepted the minister’s request, which he justified with good reasons for an evening session.
The budget, titled “The New Economy”, will set revenue targets, spending priorities and job-creation measures. Ato Forson has ruled out new loans for this programme, and the Finance Ministry has published its 2027 budget strategy document. Majority Leader James Agalga had announced the date of 12 November to the House the previous week.
