The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, will appear before Parliament on Thursday, July 24, 2025, to deliver the much-anticipated 2025 mid-year budget review.
The review is required under Section 28 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), and will assess the government’s financial management and economic performance for the first half of 2025.
Deputy Majority Leader Kweku Ricketts-Hagan announced the date while presenting next week’s Business Statement.
He noted that the Parliamentary Committee on Selection is finalizing arrangements and is awaiting the Speaker’s return to complete formal scheduling.
“The mid-year again will happen on the 24th of July. I think the committee on the selection issue, Right Honourable Speaker, has been engaging with it. He is out of the jurisdiction, and so when he comes back, I am sure he will get it sorted out,” Ricketts‑Hagan said.
President John Dramani Mahama has hinted that the upcoming review will contain further positive updates, highlighting early signs of economic stabilisation.
“I am happy to report to you that our efforts to stabilise the economy have begun to yield results,” the President noted, pointing to an improved performance of the cedi and a gradual drop in consumer prices.
