‘We’re doomed without it’ – Chamber of Commerce CEO blasts Budget’s silence on 24-Hour Economy

“So I’m expecting that every budget, be it a Mid-year or a major budget, should be aligned to the 24-Hour Economy, and there should be strong policy statements on the 24-Hour Economy.

Mark Badu-Aboagye, CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has criticised the 2026 Mid-Year Budget Review for failing to provide a clear roadmap for implementing the government’s flagship 24-Hour Economy policy.” According to him, every national budget should be aligned with the 24-Hour Economy agenda because of its importance to the country’s economic transformation.
