Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has described the 2026 Budget as more than just figures on a page, calling it “a message of hope” for every Ghanaian.

Presenting the 2026 Budget in Parliament on Thursday, Dr. Forson said it speaks to children, farmers, teachers, traders, and entrepreneurs, affirming that their sacrifices are valued, that Ghana’s economic recovery is real, and that the government is committed to building a fair, prosperous, and self-reliant nation.

"The storm has passed. The foundation is firm. The horizon is bright. Together, under the visionary leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, the nation builder, we are building The Ghana We Want, a Ghana that works for all, thrives in peace, and stands tall once again as the beacon of Africa’s renewal," he stated.

Dr. Forson added that the budget underscores government’s commitment to the future, with clear purpose and unshakable resolve, as Ghana continues “Resetting for Growth, Jobs, and Economic Transformation.”

“Ghana is rising — stronger, fairer, and unstoppable,” the Finance Minister declared.
