| Finance Minister, Dr. Amin Adam on the floor of parliament. |
The Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, has
submitted the Expenditure in Advance of Appropriation for the period
January to March 2025 to Parliament.
The proposed 2025 mini-budget, amounting to GH¢68.1
billion, is intended to cover essential government expenses during the first quarter
of the year.
This provision ensures continuity of operations
pending the presentation of a full budget by the incoming administration, which
will govern for the remainder of 2025.
Key areas expected to benefit from the allocation
include salaries of public sector workers, statutory payments, critical
infrastructure maintenance, and funding for social intervention programs.
The mini-budget serves as a constitutional requirement
during a transition year to prevent fiscal disruptions.
Following its submission, Second Deputy Speaker Andrew Asiamah Amoako referred the document to the Budget and Finance Committees for detailed review. The committees are tasked with scrutinizing the figures and policies before reporting back to the House for debate and approval.
