Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson will present the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Thursday, July 23, 2026.
The date for the presentation was announced by Deputy Majority Leader Kweku Ricketts-Hagan during proceedings in Parliament on Tuesday, July 14, when he presented the Business Statement for the upcoming parliamentary week.
According to Mr. Ricketts-Hagan, the Finance Minister is expected to appear before the House on the scheduled date, although the format of the presentation will be determined by Dr. Ato Forson.
“On the issue of the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review, the date is Thursday, July 23; that is when the Finance Minister will come here to present the Mid-Year Review. As to whether a statement or what have you, that is in the hands of the Finance Minister and I cannot pre-empt that,” he told Parliament.
The Mid-Year Budget Review is expected to provide an assessment of the implementation of the 2026 Budget, including government’s revenue mobilisation efforts, expenditure performance, and the broader state of the economy during the first half of the year.
The presentation will also highlight possible policy adjustments and measures aimed at strengthening Ghana’s fiscal position, sustaining economic recovery, and supporting growth in the private sector.
Ahead of the presentation, Dr. Ato Forson is expected to brief President John Dramani Mahama and Cabinet on the key recommendations and policy proposals contained in the review.
The document is also expected to provide updates on Ghana’s engagement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), particularly the progress of the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) programme and preparations towards the Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI).
The PCI is expected to serve as a framework for maintaining macroeconomic stability and guiding economic policies after the completion of the IMF-supported programme.
The 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review is anticipated to attract significant attention from businesses, investors, and citizens as the government outlines its economic priorities and plans for the second half of the year.
