The government will present the 2027 Budget to Parliament on November 12, with a focus on moving Ghana’s economy from stabilisation towards a more productive, competitive and technology-driven path.
Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Nyarko Ampem, who disclosed this at the launch of Ghana in Numbers 2025 in Accra, said the budget would advance the next phase of the government’s economic agenda.
He said the priority was to translate macroeconomic stability into job creation, higher incomes and improved living standards.
“Stability is the foundation. Productivity is the engine. Jobs and prosperity must be the destination,” he said.
Mr Ampem noted that Ghana’s economy grew by 6 per cent in 2025 and 6.2 per cent in the first half of 2026, while inflation declined from 23.8 per cent in December 2024 to 5.2 per cent in September 2026.
He said the government would prioritise policies to add value to local resources, support businesses and expand economic opportunities for young people.
According to him, Ghana must move beyond exporting raw materials and strengthen its capacity to produce goods and services with higher value.
“We must move from exporting raw materials to exporting value and from producing job seekers to nurturing innovators, entrepreneurs and job creators,” he said.
The 2027 Budget is expected to outline the government’s priorities for the next phase of its economic agenda, focusing on translating macroeconomic stability into broader economic opportunities and improved living standards.
