On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Ghana’s Finance Minister, will deliver his first budget to the legislature.
In accordance with Mahama’s vision, the budget will offer a thorough analysis of the economy as well as the government’s proposed policies to restart and support Ghana’s economic transformation agenda.
This was revealed at a press conference following the government’s first Cabinet meeting by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of Government Communications.
He stated that recommendations from the National Economic Dialogue, which will be held a week earlier on March 3 and 4, 2025, will inform the policies that will be announced in the budget.
The Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour Economy, Mr Gossie Tandoh, proceeded with preparations for the full rollout of President Mahama’s primary policy to transform Ghana.

The dire state of the economy was also conveyed to the Cabinet by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the Finance Minister. Compared to what we knew prior to the elections, the numbers are even worse.
Briefings on security, the agriculture transformation agenda, the 24-hour economy policy rollout plan, and the status of the economy were all part of the first Cabinet meeting, which he said was primarily to set standards for the Ministers.
