Ghana's 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review draws scrutiny over capital underspend and revenue gaps

A Deloitte Africa partner has called for better revenue mobilisation and more focused flagship programme delivery in response to Ghana's 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review. Separately, analyst Yaw Lartey has identified a 40% underspend on capital expenditure as raising material questions over project delivery, while reporting also notes that a GH¢40 million promise to the creative industry was not addressed in the review. The combined assessments point to execution and fiscal discipline gaps with consequences for infrastructure-dependent sectors including technology.
