The 2027 Budget Statement and Economic Policy will be presented to Parliament tomorrow, Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 6:00 pm, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has announced.
Mr Bagbin made the announcement on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, after approving a request by Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson for the government’s 2027 budget presentation to be scheduled for the evening.
According to the Speaker, the Finance Minister provided convincing reasons for requesting an evening presentation, prompting Parliament to adjust its sitting arrangements to accommodate the event.
“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 stated.
He further explained that Parliament would modify its Thursday sitting schedule to prevent Members of Parliament from becoming exhausted before the Finance Minister delivers the crucial budget statement.
The House is therefore expected to commence proceedings at approximately 6:00 pm to ensure members are adequately prepared for the presentation.
