National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has pledged to bring economic stability to Ghana should he win the 2024 polls.
Mahama highlighted his intention to carry out 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 emphasised the necessity of stopping the current economic downturn and bringing stability back to the nation’s banking system.
He pledged to do away with the inflationary pressures that have eaten away at the working class and citizenry of Ghana.
“This downward trend must stop, and economic stability must be restored, allowing working-class Ghanaians to breathe a sigh of relief and preventing inflationary pressures from further depleting their already little income.
“Over the past few years, I have outlined policies that the New Democratic Congress (NDC) will implement to stabilize, reverse, and halt the economy’s sharp decline.”
Mahama also promised to implement strict measures to protect workers’ rights, demonstrating his dedication to the welfare and well-being of the labour force.
Mahama gave assurances that were in line with Dr Yaw Baah’s advocacy for a comprehensive review of the macroeconomic policy framework. According to Dr Baah, this review would aim to create jobs, ensure food security, address housing needs, and uphold workers’ rights, with the ultimate goal of improving the overall socio-economic environment in Ghana.
