THE Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion has started stakeholder consultations to gather input towards the crafting of the 2026 Mid-Term Budget and Economic Review and the 2027 Budget Strategy Paper (BSP).
Treasury has invited businesses, labour groups, development partners, civil society organisations and members of the public to submit their proposals and recommendations.
The consultation comes as the Treasury assesses economic performance during the first half of 2026 and begins shaping policy priorities for the 2027 National Budget.
The ministry said that contributions from key stakeholders would help shape policy interventions and expenditure priorities for the remainder of the year and beyond.
“The Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment Promotion is inviting all stakeholders to submit inputs into the 2026 Mid-Term Budget and Economic Review and the 2027 Budget Strategy Paper.
“The 2026 Mid-Term Budget and Economic Review assesses economic performance and budget implementation during the first half of the year and identifies priorities for the remainder of 2026,” said the ministry.
The Mid-Term Budget Review is expected to evaluate progress on the 2026 National Budget, assess the performance of key economic sectors and identify measures required to address emerging challenges and accelerate growth during the second half of the year.
The review comes against the backdrop of gains in macro-economic management, with authorities maintaining a disciplined fiscal stance and strengthening coordination between fiscal and monetary policies.
