The 24-hour economy policy is a strategic initiative aimed at extending business operating hours beyond the traditional framework to create a more flexible and productive economic landscape.

He emphasized the consultative approach informing their policy formulation and revealed the completion of a policy/strategy document on the proposal, which will soon be shared with the people of Ghana.
The former President reiterated his commitment to building the Ghana that the citizens want, emphasizing the importance of working together to achieve shared prosperity. He expressed the desire to subject their policy proposals to scrutiny and synthesize various views to refine and fine-tune them to meet the expectations of the people.
Mahama’s endorsement of the 24-hour economy policy underscores the potential positive impact of this strategic initiative on Ghana’s economic landscape. By extending business operating hours and creating a more flexible economic environment, the policy aims to drive economic growth, create more job opportunities, and address the challenges faced by the population.
Overall, the 24-hour economy policy has the potential to transform Ghana’s economy and improve the livelihoods of its citizens. With the support of key stakeholders and the commitment of leaders like John Dramani Mahama, the implementation of this policy could lead to a more vibrant and productive economic landscape for the country.
