However, the Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, during the 2026 Budget presentation in Parliament, announced that the government is targeting a primary surplus of 1.5% of GDP in 2026, signalling a firm commitment to fiscal discipline.

He further noted that the overall fiscal deficit is projected at 2.2% of GDP on a commitment basis and 4% on a cash basis.

According to Dr Forson, this approach underscores the government’s goal of balancing fiscal consolidation with economic growth, ensuring financial stability while continuing to invest in critical development projects.
