Ghana will invest $10 billion over four years from 2027 in a domestically funded "New Economy" programme to boost output, exports and jobs, Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson said late on Thursday as he presented the 2027 budget.
The programme will target commercial agriculture, energy infrastructure, technology, textiles and garments, critical minerals value addition, amongst others, Forson told parliament, Reuters reported.
The budget projects gross domestic product growth of 5.2% next year, up from 4.8% in 2026, and a fiscal deficit on a cash basis of 3.6% of GDP, down from 4% this year. The government also plans to maintain inflation within a band of 8%, plus or minus 2 percentage points.
It is the first budget since Ghana completed a $3 billion IMF support programme, under which the economy improved markedly.
