More than seven in 10 respondents want job creation and youth employment prioritised in Ghana’s 2027 Budget, according to a survey conducted by KPMG and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The findings show that 71 per cent of respondents consider jobs and youth unemployment a top national priority for the government, while 54 per cent identify the cost of living as another major concern. The survey, which draws on responses from citizens and businesses as well as focus group discussions, highlights expectations for the 2027 Budget and the economic challenges facing households and enterprises. On taxation, 90 per cent of respondents want government to communicate changes at least four months before implementation to give businesses sufficient time to plan.
