The Minister for Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced that the 2026 appropriation remains unchanged, even as government undertakes a strategic realignment of expenditures within the approved framework.
Presenting the 2026 Mid‑Year Budget Review in Parliament on Thursday, July 23, Dr. Ato Forson confirmed that the total appropriation approved in the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy would not be revised.
He reaffirmed government’s macroeconomic targets for the year, including at least 4.8 percent GDP growth, 4.9 percent non‑oil GDP growth, inflation of 8 percent ±2, a primary surplus of 1.5 percent of GDP, and reserves covering at least three months of imports.
