As part of efforts to ensure citizens’ involvement in economic policies, the Ministry of Finance has opened its doors to public input for the country’s 2026–2029 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.
The move, announced through an official call for submissions, aims to deepen citizen involvement in shaping the nation’s economic future and ensuring government policies reflect the real needs of its people.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Finance, business associations, professional bodies, financial institutions, civil society organizations, faith-based groups, and individual citizens are being asked to electronically submit their ideas and proposals by August 29, 2025.
“This call is in line with the Government’s responsiveness to the needs of the Ghanaian citizenry,” the Ministry stated, emphasizing its commitment to inclusive policymaking and transparent governance.
The budget, to be presented to Parliament on November 15, 2025, will outline Ghana’s fiscal direction for the next four years. This is a critical period as the nation works to sustain post-IMF bailout recovery, stabilize its currency, and foster sustainable growth.
“The Ministry has earnestly begun the process of developing the 2026-2029 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to be presented to Parliament by 15th November, 2025, and therefore, requests for inputs from the general public for consideration into the 2026-2029 National Budget, “parts of the statement read.
It further added, “This call is in line with the Government’s responsiveness to the needs of the Ghanaian citizenry to deepen citizens’ participation in the budget process as well as implement inclusive policies.”
The ministry says submissions can be sent to [email protected] before the August deadline.
For citizens, CSOs, and business associations eager to see their concerns translated into policy, the moment to speak is now.
