Professor Peter Quartey, former Director of ISSER, is advising Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, to prioritize revenue growth in the upcoming 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review. This recommendation follows disappointing tax collection figures reported during the first quarter of the year. Quartey stresses the necessity for concrete measures to boost domestic revenue mobilization. He believes the budget review is a crucial opportunity to address these shortfalls and strengthen the nation's financial position. The focus should shift towards strategies that will increase tax revenue and improve economic performance. A strong revenue performance is vital for achieving fiscal stability and funding essential public services. Ultimately, the Mid-Year Budget needs to demonstrate a clear path towards sustainable revenue growth.
