Parliament shifts Thursday sitting to accommodate 2027 Budget presentation
Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, will deliver the 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy at 6pm on Thursday, November 12, following approval from Parliament.
The evening schedule was confirmed by Speaker Alban Bagbin, who told MPs on Tuesday that he had accepted the Finance Minister’s request to present the fiscal policy document later in the day.
Bagbin said the arrangement would require Parliament to adjust its normal sitting hours to prevent members from becoming fatigued before the presentation.
The budget will set out the government’s revenue and spending plans for 2027, alongside its economic priorities and proposed interventions for job creation.
Attention will also be on how the government intends to support businesses, attract investment, expand local production and address concerns over the cost of doing business as it outlines its plans for the coming year.
