Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has vowed to introduce a fresh budget in April 2025 should he secure the presidency.
In his New Year message to Ghanaians on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, John Dramani Mahama revealed his plan to introduce a fresh budget, emphasizing its focus on bolstering and nurturing small businesses across the country.
Additionally, he announced plans to adjust taxes by providing incentives aimed at fostering a conducive environment for businesses to thrive. This adjustment reflects Mahama’s proactive approach towards creating a tax structure that encourages growth and prosperity within the business community.
The move, John Dramani Mahama opined, would help curb the unemployment canker that keeps rearing its head up in the country.
“In April 2025, the new NDC government shall introduce a new budget to support and build small businesses and adjust taxes as incentive for job creation,” Mahama said in his speech to Ghanaians, and monitored by GhanaWeb Business.
The NDC flagbearer reiterated his vision to roll out a 24-hour economy.
“At the heart of my vision for economic revitalization is the implementation of a 24-hour economy. This innovation policy seeks to maximize productivity and efficiency by extending business hours and operations around the clock,” John Dramani Mahama stated.
The 24-hour economy, he said, would create a more vibrant economy that would benefit both workers and businesses.
