Ghana’s long-anticipated 24-Hour Economy policy will be officially launched today, Wednesday, July 2, in a bold effort to drive economic transformation, enhance productivity, and tackle unemployment through round-the-clock operations in key sectors.
The initiative—flagship among the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s manifesto promises—is designed to encourage continuous, shift-based work in industries such as manufacturing, agro-processing, healthcare, transportation, and retail.
Described by the government as a “game changer,” the policy is expected to create thousands of new jobs, increase national output, and unlock value across supply chains. Companies that enroll in the programme will benefit from tax incentives, access to stable electricity, and enhanced nighttime security.
According to the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA), the initiative is a game changer.
Charles Appiah, Head of Business Unit at GUTA, said their members will be fully involved in the initiative to ensure that the program succeeds.
