Ghana's 2025 Mid-Year Budget Review, presented by Finance Minister Dr.
Cassiel Ato Forson, has highlighted significant economic improvements, including a narrowed fiscal deficit target, reduced public debt, and increased reserves. The government announced plans to abolish the COVID-19 levy, reform VAT, and invest in infrastructure such as 5,000km of new roads. Despite these positive indicators, the Minority in Parliament staged a walkout in protest, citing concerns over democracy and recent electoral violence. The Finance Minister defended the administration's spending priorities and emphasized that while challenges remain, the economy is on a path to recovery.
Analysts and experts have called for continued fiscal discipline, domestic revenue mobilization, and careful implementation of tax reforms.
