We have now seen the first set of data on the government’s fiscal operations for Q1 2026, and the numbers are encouraging. Total revenue improved from 3.1% of GDP in the same period last year to 3.6%, while tax revenue increased from 2.6% to 3%. Expenditure also remained well contained. Total expenditure relative to GDP declined from 4.1% of GDP in Q1 2025 to 3.9% in Q1 2026, with capital expenditure recording a marginal increase. As a result of higher revenues and reduced spending, the primary balance on a commitment basis improved from 0.3% of GDP to 1.2%. The overall fiscal balance also improved from a deficit of 1% of GDP to a surplus of 0.1%. The fiscal discipline continues.

@daintyy6 @Woodcoffie56 Why must I listen to it 3x in order to make meaning out of whats being said??? Then there’s a problem with the narrative and not the listener or viewers.

@Kojo_870 @Woodcoffie56 You lack what you're saying too, I guess… Listen to the minister for 3x each time listen slowly, pause listen again, rewind & listen again When you're done, come let's have a meaningful discussion 😊

The BIG PUSH contract might have been given to the wrong construction companies. And this is my question to the minister for roads. I blame John Mahama when he said every Ghanaian should chop…. Some are in to sabotage your government..

@fiifi_gh @thenationguy That’s the reality of the democracy we practice here. Mahama won’t abandon his flagship programs & pursue someone else’s programs and if he’s unable to complete his same ppl will blame him for not doing well. Sad!

@Kojo_870 @thenationguy But do we both agree, Government must find a way to make both work regardless 🤔

It was not prudent to start 111 hospitals at once, but today it is considered prudent to build 24-hour markets across all 261 districts. Who in their right mind would choose 261 markets over 111 hospitals, except the NDC.

@fiifi_gh @thenationguy Building a market doesn’t require equipment to operationalize like building a health facility. Just imagine how much it will cost govt to fully operationalize a medical facility compared to a market

@thenationguy Question : Is President Mahama starting the 24 hour markets, in all 261 Districts at once?

@AsmanKojo @DennisMiracles @kwadwoWalkalone I thought you were wise oh

@DennisMiracles @kwadwoWalkalone I always knew , it was just a matter of time for people to see what was already so clear. I still wonder who or what bewitched Ghanaians to make them gullible about the NDC. It's not normal

SO WE CAME ALL THIS WAY FOR NOTHING? Petrol back to GHS 14.60. Jusssst where they picked it from Diesel even higher than it was in January 2025 Cocoa farmers unpaid since October 2025. Then giving a wicked haircut. Teachers sitting at home. Promised automatic postings. Got nothing. Thousands of Nurses and teachers unpaid for 16 months. 24-Hour Economy? Still on paper. All that suffering. All that sacrifice. All that waiting. And they brought us right back to square one. #SoWeCameAllThisWayForNothing

@DashThaniel @aristotledada Rawlings left his own party

@aristotledada Lol what did the NDC do to their founder and his family after years of serving and building the party ??? Even in his own party Rawlings was not regarded as even a leader worth listening to

Former president Jerry John Rawlings was given ONLY 1 car for his retirement.* This is according to a letter* written by former chief of staff, Kojo Mpiani and shared by Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, The more they try to explain, the more they expose ex president Kuffuor.

Professor Bokpin elucidates the exceptional macro economic performance of the NDC

The fastest economic recovery in Ghana's history has been recorded and achieved by version 2.0 of the Mahama-led government — this, after the most regressive, self-immolating policies of waste, mismanagement, and plunder the country has ever seen. Key achievements: · Exit from the IMF programme with star-studded honours · Rapid decline in inflation · A confident cedi · International reserves built back better · The quickest debt reduction from 65% to 45% of GDP in just one year Buoyed by confidence, candour, and transparency, the government's finance team — competently led by Dr. Ato Forson — carefully choreographed how to work with the IMF programme they inherited, even though it was badly bruised, broken, and moribund from excessive haemorrhage following the twin shocks of the DDEP, which amounted to the literal pickpocketing of our savings and investments by the previous administration. Remember: the previous government renegotiated the IMF programme the NDC government handed to them. Sadly, they missed almost 70% of the structural benchmarks they had promised the IMF by the end of 2019 — when the economy was already stuttering in fits — only to later be exposed and overwhelmed by COVID-19 and, to a very minute degree, the Russian war on Ukraine. In essence, the final apocalyptic collapse of the economy we witnessed in 2022 — with all macroeconomic indicators gasping for air — was entirely avoidable. So what has changed this time with the exit plan from the IMF? A commitment never to return to the IMF after three and a half years — the period we have been cursed, through maladministration, to return to the Fund since independence in 1957. The Finance Minister and his team defended a decision before Cabinet to be bound by additional strictures of the IMF for 36 months, long after the general elections in 2028. This is to remain credible to investors and the markets, and in the process mobilise enough capital to invest in critical areas of the economy to provide jobs — but crucially, to free up domestic resources for the private sector to blossom. It is a promise not to splurge and waste resources, as has usually been the case with governments that exit IMF programmes. Essentially, the Government of Ghana announced the official conclusion of the IMF Extended Credit Facility Programme and transitioned immediately to the non-financing Policy Coordination Instrument (PCI) of the IMF. What is the PCI? It is a non-financial advisory and monitoring tool provided by the IMF. It allows the country to design and implement its own economic reforms without receiving a financial bailout, acting essentially as a global seal of approval for the government's fiscal management. This masterstroke in economic diplomacy could not have been achieved without the backing of the President, whose mission this time around is legacy and respect. The President reads every document handed to him, often correcting grammatical mistakes before signing the country up to the contents. So, we can say that yes, stability has been achieved after the races with death we experienced prior to 2025. Resilience is what we aim for now as a country. We need to remain disciplined and reduce losses by State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), which cost governments approximately $2 billion annually. Quite a number of SOEs must be axed outright, others merged, and still others injected with independent, world-class management to return profit — because they are enterprises, not social care homes. In the meantime, we are grateful for the dexterity of the economic management team, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, the encouraging progress of GoldBod, and all other functionaries of government who will abide by the honour code of spending within budgets to make Ghana's self-imposed IMF PCI possible.

RT @fanti_boy: Listen to how former President JA Kuffour changed our currency after the corruption and stealing Ghana at 50 scandal @Berry…

If I keep listening to this man I will lose my mind. Please stop talking before I start a campaign to make you President of Federation of African States. Man is moving like Nkrumah.

Dear Road Minister, Contractors on the Sawla–Fulfulso road project have abandoned the site, causing frustration among residents and commuters. Maripoma company again oooo

@Iamamanoa This money should go into grassroots football.

Use some to clear GTV’s debt at CAF and FIFA so Ghanaians can enjoy the national teams’ games on their national stations

@Serwaa_Amihere You want Mahama to divert money from his flagship projects to Nana Addo's project na didn't Mahama tell him he couldn't finish considering the number? He didn't listen so if money is diverted there and Big push fails what will you say again?

If government is prioritising roads by budgeting to expend over 60bn within 4 years, why can’t we do same with Agenda 111 hospitals? If we need 27bn to complete ALL Agenda 111 projects, why can’t the government do needs assessment to complete at least 80 of these hospitals within 4 years?

The same people who mismanaged the economy to the point where Ghana lost access to the international capital markets and households, businesses, and the Central Bank had to absorb significant haircuts through the DDEP are now criticizing the current government’s reliance on treasury bills. Like you created the situation where all other financing options were no longer viable. Sometimes, we need to pause and look in the mirror a little 😜

@west_bernard @iyz_berg_ Is this the colour of heavy metals and arsenic? Mmoa Boreholes are water that's filtered onto the water bed through different layers of earth. How's borehole water this brown? Lol

You need to also understand that illegal mining (galamsey) severely affects boreholes by contaminating underground water sources with heavy metals, such as arsenic, lead, and mercury, as well as poisonous cyanide used in processing. These toxins seep into aquifers, causing boreholes to produce unsafe water, sometimes appearing brown, or causing illnesses, even if the water looks clean🫱🏿‍🫲🏾

Entire communities are losing clean water so a few people can get rich from galamsey. This is the harsh reality in most mining communities.😭😭 Pipe-borne and borehole water have turned brown and contaminated because of galamsey.#StopGalamseyNow

@cediboyghana @eddie_wrt Isn't it public knowledge that mobilisation has been paid?

@eddie_wrt Minister Agbodza dey really flex his power on the Enchi-Elubo road project. Saying he'd terminate the contract if no mobilization payment was made shows how serious dem be about project funding. This kinda talk can stir up plenty debate on transparency in government contracts.

Governs Kwame Agbodza, Minister for Roads and Highways, expressed fury at a contractor handling the Enchi–Elubo road project, stating that he would have terminated the contract if no mobilization payment had been made. His comments came during a visit to the project site, where he discovered that no work had commenced despite the contract being awarded in December 2025. VC: @The1957News
