The meetings, scheduled from October 12 to 18, precede the 2027 Budget, where Dr Forson is expected to present the New Economy blueprint for Ghana's next stage of economic growth. The Ministry of Finance report highlights that Dr Forson will meet with world leaders, senior officials from international financial institutions, and other finance ministers through one-on-one and group discussions. This is the first Annual Meetings outside Washington, D.C. since Dr Forson became Finance Minister in 2025.
