The Ministry of Finance is pleased to\u00a0 announce the commencement of the 2026 National Budget Consultations, which will be\u00a0 held across all parishes and Carriacou beginning Monday, August 25, 2025.<\/p>\n
These consultations are a key element of the Government\u2019s pledge to transparency,\u00a0 accountability, and citizen engagement in the budgetary process. They provide a vital\u00a0 platform for Grenadians to share perspectives, ideas, and recommendations, ensuring that\u00a0 the National Budget reflects the priorities and aspirations of the people.<\/p>\n
To ensure broad participation, transportation to and from each consultation will be\u00a0 provided. Members of the public are encouraged to contact the Office of their\u00a0 Parliamentary Representatives for further details on transportation arrangements.<\/p>\n
Recognising the importance of engaging Grenadians in the diaspora, each consultation will\u00a0 be streamed live on the Government Information Service (GIS) and the Ministry of\u00a0 Finance\u2019s Facebook pages. Members of the diaspora are also invited to contribute their\u00a0 ideas and feedback through the Budget Contribution Portal at finance.gd, ensuring their\u00a0 voices are also reflected in the national dialogue.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Finance emphasises that these consultations are not merely ceremonial but\u00a0 are essential to shaping policies and priorities that directly impact communities. Every\u00a0 contribution, whether from farmers, entrepreneurs, students, professionals, or citizens\u00a0 abroad, adds value to the final Budget presentation.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Finance looks forward to the active participation of all citizens and\u00a0 members of the diaspora as, together, we craft a 2026 National Budget that serves the\u00a0 collective interest and sustainable development of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite\u00a0 Martinique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
