The 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy will be presented to Parliament at 6:00pm on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin announced the new time during proceedings in Parliament on Tuesday, November 10.
He said he had approved a request from Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson for the budget presentation to take place in the evening instead of the usual daytime sitting.
According to the Speaker, the House will adjust its sitting schedule to ensure that Members of Parliament are not fatigued before the Finance Minister presents the budget.
Mr Bagbin did not disclose the specific reasons given by the Finance Minister for requesting the evening presentation.
Budget dubbed ‘The New Economy’
The 2027 Budget, titled “The New Economy,” is expected to outline the government’s economic priorities, revenue projections, spending plans and policies for the coming year.
It is also expected to provide details of the government’s plans for job creation, economic growth, investment and improving the livelihoods of Ghanaians.
The presentation comes as businesses and other stakeholders look forward to policies that will support local production, improve access to credit and reduce the cost of doing business.
Following the presentation, Members of Parliament are expected to participate in a post-budget workshop scheduled for November 15 to 17 in the Volta Region.
The Finance Minister’s presentation will be an important moment in Parliament’s consideration of the government’s economic direction and spending priorities for 2027.
