2025 Budget Presentation Today – What to Expect
Finance Minister to unveil Mahama administration’s first budget, focusing on tax relief, economic recovery, and job creation
- E-Levy, COVID-19 Health Levy, and Betting Tax to be scrapped
- Policies to stabilize the economy and boost businesses
- Focus on infrastructure, employment, and social interventions
Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson is set to present the 2025 Budget Statement and Economic Policy to Parliament today, marking the Mahama administration’s first major economic roadmap since taking office.
The much-anticipated budget is expected to outline strategies for economic stabilization, growth, and fiscal recovery. A key highlight is the proposed removal of controversial taxes, including the Electronic Transfer Levy (E-Levy), COVID-19 Health Levy, and Betting Tax—measures that were widely criticized for burdening Ghanaians.
The Mahama administration has pledged to ease the tax load on individuals and businesses while driving economic recovery. The removal of these levies is expected to benefit mobile money users, businesses, and online bettors.
Beyond tax relief, the budget will focus on job creation, infrastructure development, and social interventions to enhance livelihoods nationwide.
