Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson is set to present the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Thursday, July 23, 2026.

The country’s Financial Administration Act requires the Finance Minister to update Parliament on the performance of the country in the first half of the year and the fiscal strategy for the next six months of the year.

The Mid-Year Budget Review is also in line with Section 28 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), which mandates the Minister of Finance to update Parliament on the execution of the national budget and provide an outlook for the rest of the fiscal year.

This year's review is expected to offer a detailed assessment of how the government has managed the economy over the first six months of 2026, including updates on revenue generation, spending, debt servicing, and policy direction.

It will also outline any proposed amendments or adjustments to fiscal plans in light of current economic conditions.
