John Mahama begs multinational companies to tarry a bit longer
John Dramani Mahama has also urged multinational companies to stay in the country.
He was reacting to the sudden flight of several multinationals from the country beginning in 2022 till date.
Most of these multinationals cited the country's poor economic situation, high taxes, and other regulatory issues as reasons for exiting the Ghanaian market.
According to the former president, the exit of these multinationals would negatively impact the economy through reduced employment opportunities and lower tax revenues.
Speaking at the 8th Ghana CEO Summit in Accra on May 27, 2024, John Mahama noted that the issue is further exacerbated by the country's ballooning debt levels, which currently stand at a staggering GH₵658.6 billion.
The former president blamed the prevailing unfavourable business climate on the economic mismanagement of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
