The Centre for Policy Scrutiny (CPS) has announced that it will on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, present a comprehensive policy paper analysing the government’s 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review, offering an independent, evidence-based assessment of the Finance Minister’s statement and its implications for Ghana’s economy.
The presentation will be led by CPS Executive Director Dr. Adu Owusu Sarkodie and Labour Economist Dr. Prince Adjei, who are expected to dissect the government’s fiscal performance, policy direction and the credibility of the economic projections presented to Parliament by Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson.
A statement signed by CPS Head of Corporate Affairs, Kweku Obeng-Adjei, said the event — to be streamed live on Facebook and YouTube — will bring together economists, policy analysts, academics, civil society organisations, journalists and the general public to scrutinise Ghana’s fiscal outlook and the effectiveness of measures announced for the remainder of 2026.
“The paper will provide an evidence-based evaluation of key areas of the budget review, including revenue mobilisation, expenditure management, public debt, inflation, economic growth and the government’s broader fiscal strategy,” the statement noted.
The presenters will also assess whether the Finance Minister’s policy measures are adequate to tackle current economic challenges, stimulate private sector growth and place the economy on a sustainable recovery path.
The policy dialogue comes at a time when the Mid-Year Budget Review continues to dominate national debate, with economists and political actors offering contrasting interpretations of the government’s assessment and its plans for the second half of the year.
CPS says it remains committed to promoting rigorous, evidence-based policy discussions and strengthening public accountability through independent research. Tuesday’s presentation is expected to enrich national discourse by providing a critical, non-partisan evaluation of the government’s fiscal policies and offering recommendations to enhance economic management and long-term growth.
