Ato Forson says government will not seek supplementary estimates in 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review

Minister for Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has stated that the government is not seeking parliamentary approval for supplementary estimates as part of the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review, stressing that the expenditure framework approved at the beginning of the year remains intact.

It also comes amid heightened interest in the Mid-Year Budget Review, with many observers closely watching for possible changes to government spending, borrowing plans, and broader macroeconomic policy for the remainder of the year.

Presenting the Mid-Year Budget Review to Parliament on Thursday, July 24, Dr Forson said the government had maintained fiscal discipline and therefore had no reason to revise the 2026 appropriations.
