Should he be elected in the general elections of 2024, National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has pledged to bring economic stability to Ghana.
Mahama stressed his intention to put into effect sensible economic policies aimed at lowering public debt, managing inflation, and restricting the central bank’s financing of the government through the Bank of Ghana during a manifesto presentation by the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
Mahama emphasized the necessity of stopping the current economic downturn and bringing stability back to the nation’s banking system.
He declared his commitment to reducing the inflationary pressures that have reduced working-class and Ghanaian citizens’ incomes.
“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.”
Mahama also promised to implement strict measures to protect workers’ rights, demonstrating his dedication to the welfare and well-being of the labor force.
The Trades Union Congress Secretary General, Dr. Yaw Baah, pushed for a thorough examination of the macroeconomic policy framework in addition to Mahama’s promises.
He stated that the goal of this assessment would be to improve Ghana’s socioeconomic environment generally by addressing housing needs, ensuring food security, promoting employment opportunities, and protecting workers’ rights.
