Ghanaian interest comes first in 2027 Budget – Dr Ato Forson
As budget hearings with ministries, departments and agencies conclude this week, Dr Forson said every spending decision and policy choice would be guided by the needs and aspirations of Ghanaians.
Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghana's Finance Minister, has affirmed that the welfare of the Ghanaian people will continue to be the government's top priority when drafting the 2027 Budget. As budget discussions with various ministries, departments, and agencies wrap up this week, Dr Forson emphasized that all financial choices and policy decisions will be centered on the needs and desires of the Ghanaian populace.
"Throughout every consultation and decision-making process, one guiding principle remains immutable: the interest of the Ghanaian people is paramount," he declared. The anticipated 2027 Budget is projected to be the cornerstone policy document outlining the government's ambitious US$10 billion New Economy strategy. President John Dramani Mahama has hailed the initiative as a "game changer" for Ghana, while Dr Forson asserts that it will propel the nation beyond mere economic stabilization and foster jobs and prosperity.
The ongoing budget consultations are assisting the government in determining the priorities and expenditure plans of state agencies, and aligning them with the New Economy strategy. The budget is projected to delineate the critical sectors, investments, and policy measures that will spur job generation, assist businesses, broaden infrastructure, and spur Ghana's economic metamorphosis.
