Former president John Dramani Mahama has professed solutions to the Ghana Economy if he is elected as the next president in 2024. He indicates that the ailing economy will be stabilised under his reign if he is elected as president in the 2024 general elections.
The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress made the call during a manifesto presentation by the Trades Union Congress (TUC). He emphasized his desire to implement practical economic policies focused on reducing public debt, addressing inflation, and limiting the central bank’s financing of the government through the Bank of Ghana.
Mahama underscored the need to halt the ongoing economic decline and restore stability to the country’s financial landscape.
He expressed his dedication to alleviating the inflationary pressures that have eroded the income of Ghanaian citizens and working people.
“There must be an end to this decline and the restoration of stability to the economy so that Ghanaian citizens and working people can brief a sigh of relief and not have their already inadequate income eroded by inflationary pressures.
“In the last few years, I have been outlining policies that the NDC will implement and the aim is to stop the steep decline in the economy, turn it around and stabilise it.”
Furthermore, Mahama pledged to enact stringent measures to safeguard the rights of workers, reflecting his commitment to the welfare and well-being of the labour force.
In tandem with Mahama’s assurances, Dr. Yaw Baah, the Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress, advocated for a comprehensive review of the macroeconomic policy framework.
