In Ghana, ISSER calls for more investment in the 2027 budget

Robert Darko Osei, director of ISSER, is urging the Ghanaian government to increase investment spending before the 2027 budget is presented on Thursday 12 November at 6pm. The budget, named « The New Economy », is to set economic priorities and job creation, according to 3News.

The head of the ISSER research institute, Professor Robert Darko Osei, is calling on the Ghanaian government to increase investment spending in the 2027 budget. According to him, investment spending was more than 40% below target in the first half of 2026, he said on JoyNews.

ISSER is a Ghanaian research institute specialising in statistics, social sciences and economics. Professor Osei believes that cuts to infrastructure projects are holding back business productivity and contradict the 9 billion dollar « New Economy » plan for 2027-2030. The 2027 budget is due to be presented to Parliament on Thursday evening at 6pm, according to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin.
