In Accra today, the Centre for Policy Scrutiny published a review paper on the 2026 Budget of the Republic of Ghana.
Key observations included the following:
1. 2026 budget signals bold shift toward growth, jobs and infrastructure:
2. Strong disinflation, lower interest rates create foundation for 2026 recovery.
3. 2026 revenue targets are too high and unrealistic thus setting unrealistic expectations.
4. 141% CAPEX increase is ambitious and unrealistic – CPS warns
5. Expansionary 2026 budget could trigger interest rates pressures and market instability
