Majority rejects claims on fiscal surplus, cites IMF backing for gov’t economic performance
Mr Issah maintained that a fiscal balance simply reflects the difference between government revenue and expenditure and should not be interpreted as evidence of weak economic management.
His remarks come ahead of Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson's presentation of the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review, where government is expected to provide an update on Ghana's fiscal performance, debt outlook and economic growth.
