The government launched the much-anticipated 24-Hour Economy policy on Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
The policy, which is aimed at helping solve Ghana's unemployment challenge, was the main campaign promise of the ruling for the 2024 Election.
At the launch of the initiative, President Mahama said that the policy was not merely aimed at increasing working hours, but will seek to expand opportunities, stimulate exports, and foster well-structured, multi-sectoral interventions that benefit all Ghanaians. "The 24H Plus agenda is not simply extending working hours; it's about unleashing productivity, expanding opportunities, and accelerating exports through well-structured, multi-sectoral and inclusive interventions.
And so we would have national consultations and co-design," President Mahama stated.
