Mahama outlines packages for 24/7 economy policy
Earlier, John Mahama outlined his future government’s support packages to catalyse his proposed 24-hour economy policy.
He said he planned to strategically invest in critical sectors, including infrastructure, security, and energy.
John Mahama noted that the 'time-of-use' tariff system was at the core of his 24/7 economy.
The system would provide cheaper and more reliable electricity for businesses during off-peak periods, reducing operational costs and encouraging longer hours.
The former president also promised several tax incentives to alleviate the financial pressures on businesses and aid their growth.
According to Mahama, areas like agro-processing and manufacturing would receive financial assistance from the Ghana EXIM bank to boost exports and consolidate the country’s industrial base.
John Mahama also assured small and medium enterprises that an NDC government would receive significant investments to help them expand, create jobs and contribute more to the economy.

According to Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the proposed plan was impossible and impractical, further urging Ghanaians to disregard it.
Aiming to counter Mahama, NAPO added that Ghanaians did not need to work 24 hours as proposed because even God sleeps at night.
