On November 15, 2023, Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta will give the government’s 2024 Annual Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament.
This was disclosed on Tuesday by Speaker of the House Alban S.K. Bagbin, who also said that the budget presentation is an important process that needs to be examined and monitored by Parliament.
“We will have to examine the budget carefully to ensure that it meets the needs of all Ghanaians.”
“I believe this house will adopt a consultative and consensus-building approach throughout this process. We have shown enough capacity and experience in budget approval deliberations and this will be no different.”
In order to meet the demands of recently enacted house legislation, he encouraged the house to speed the adoption of the budget bill, which would allow Parliament to hire more technical staff.
According to Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, the budget for the 2024 fiscal year will represent the goals and priorities of the administration.
“We are committed to delivering a budget that is responsive, inclusive and sustainable.”
“We will continue to pursue prudent fiscal policies that will support economic recovery, growth and development,” he said.
