flag Ghana launches 24-Hour Economy Plan to boost jobs and growth, but experts warn of underestimating costs and risks.

flag Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy Programme, unveiled October 21, 2025, aims to shift the nation toward value-added exports, create five million jobs by 2034, and sustain 6% GDP growth through agro-industrialisation, manufacturing, and regional development. flag While praised for its ambitious vision, the Centre for Policy Scrutiny warns the $4 billion cost estimate may be too low, citing unaccounted tax incentives and subsidies. flag The report highlights risks of duplication with existing initiatives, weak integration into national planning, and insufficient fiscal discipline, urging transparent costing, performance-based incentives, and phased implementation to ensure success.
