Nelson Cudjoe Kuagbedzi, Head of Finance at Merban Capital, has urged the government to consider leveraging Ghana's pension funds to finance the ambitious 24-hour economy policy launched by the Mahama administration.
Speaking on Channel One TV's The Big Issue with Sammi Wiafe, Kuagbedzi emphasised the need for a secure and sustainable funding model to ensure the success of the initiative.
He cautioned that many public policies in Ghana struggle due to the lack of reliable financial backing. "One of the areas I think they can look at is the pension funds.
The assets under management of pension funds by the close of the year [2025] are targeted to hit close to GHC100 billion.
