Ken Ofori-Atta, Finance Minister will be in parliament today to present the mid-year budget review.
The budget review, which is by Article 179 of the 1992 Constitution and the Public Financial Management Act 921, presents the opportunity to revise macroeconomic targets and present a comprehensive economic outlook for the rest of the year.
This is normally based on inflows and outflows within the first six months of the year.
The government is expected to announce projects and programs to create one million jobs over the next few years.
The 2021 Budget, which was themed ‘Economic Revitalisation through Completion, Consolidation, and Continuity’, sought to carefully balance fiscal consolidation and facilitate the recovery of the economy following the COVID-19 pandemic.
