John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has affirmed his dedication to achieving economic stability in Ghana if elected in the 2024 general elections.
During a manifesto presentation organized by the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Mahama emphasized his commitment to implementing practical economic policies that focus on reducing public debt, addressing inflation, and limiting the central bank’s financing of the government through the Bank of Ghana.
Mahama stressed the urgency of halting the ongoing economic decline and restoring stability to the country’s financial landscape.
He expressed his determination to relieve the inflationary pressures that have been eroding the incomes of Ghanaian citizens and the working class. Mahama stated, “There must be an end to this decline and the restoration of stability to the economy so that Ghanaian citizens and working people can breathe 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 goal is to stop the steep decline in the economy, turn it around, and stabilize it.”
Furthermore, Mahama pledged to implement stringent measures to safeguard the rights of workers, demonstrating his commitment to the welfare and well-being of the labor force.
In line with Mahama’s assurances, Dr. Yaw Baah, the Secretary-General of the Trades Union Congress, called for a comprehensive review of the macroeconomic policy framework.
