Q1 2022: Gov’t misses revenue target by GHS 2.6bn as fiscal deficit hits 2.6% of GDP

Total revenue and grants mobilised by government within the first quarter of 2022 amounted to GHS 16.7bn (3.3% of GDP).

This is below the projected total revenue and grants target of GHS 19.3bn (3.8% of GDP) for the quarter.

The miss in government’s revenue for the quarter can be partly attributed to its inability to meet auction targets in the 91, 182 and 364 days treasury bills.

Government total expenditure within the quarter, also amounted to GHS 27bn (5.4% of GDP).

This is some GHS 3.5bn less the programmed expenditure target of GHS 30.5bn (6.1% of GDP).

The reduction in government expenditure maybe due to the fiscal consolidation measures such as the 30% cut in the budgets of MMDAs and salaries of government officials carried out within the first quarter of this year.
