The 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy will be presented to Parliament at 6 pm on Thursday, November 12, Speaker Alban Bagbin has announced.

The Speaker disclosed this in Parliament on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, saying he had approved a request by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson for the presentation to take place in the evening.

“I granted the Minister for Finance that the budget, which is to be presented on Thursday, to be presented in the evening. And he gave good reasons why he wants it to be presented in the evening,” Mr Bagbin said.

Mr Bagbin said Parliament would adjust its sitting schedule to ensure members were not fatigued before the Finance Minister’s presentation.

He indicated that the House was likely to begin sitting at about 6 pm to accommodate the event.

“So on Thursday we will definitely adjust so that members don't sit too early so that by the time he comes you're already fatigued. And so Parliament may sit on Thursday around 6:00 p.m. so that we can prepare for his attendance,” he said.

The 2027 budget is expected to outline the government’s new economy, plans for job creation, revenue projections, expenditure plans and policy priorities for the coming year.

The presentation comes amid calls from business groups and other stakeholders for measures to reduce the cost of doing business, improve access to credit and support investment in agriculture and local production.
