Finance Minister to deliver mini-budget to Parliament today

Business
Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam

Ghana’s Parliament reconvenes today following its December adjournment, with a critical focus on the much-anticipated presentation of the 2025 Mini-Budget.

The Mini-Budget, a constitutional mandate outlining fiscal strategies for the year, has faced repeated delays, sparking concerns about its implications for government operations.

Key topics expected to dominate the presentation include revenue generation, expenditure priorities, and measures for fiscal consolidation to stabilize the economy ahead of the incoming administration.

Last month, Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin adjourned proceedings after Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam failed to meet the statutory deadline for the budget's submission.

Multiple sources have confirmed that Dr. Adam will present the "Expenditure in Advance of Appropriation" today when the House resumes.

This critical document is expected to provide clarity on government spending plans and address mounting concerns over the delayed fiscal framework.

As Parliament reconvenes, stakeholders are watching closely for how the government plans to navigate fiscal challenges while ensuring financial stability in the months ahead
