Flagberer of the national democratic congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has stated that a future NDC administration will implement an Economic Transformation Agenda focused on structural reforms.
During a recent visit to his farm in the Northern Region, Mahama emphasized his goal of increasing local tomato production to reduce reliance on imports from neighboring countries.
He stated that this initiative would enhance agricultural modernization, promote agri-business, and add value to local products, ultimately leading to import substitution, boosting exports, and creating jobs.
An X user named General Marcus tweeted, “The next Mahama government will implement an Economic Transformation Agenda underpinned by structural reforms, anchored on the promotion of agricultural modernization, agri-business, and value addition for import substitution, exports, and job creation.”
This comment follows a promise he made during the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Manifesto Launch at the University of Education, Winneba, on Saturday, August 24, 2024.
Mr. Mahama outlined that if elected in the December 7 elections, his government will initiate a National Economic Dialogue within his first 120 days in office.
This dialogue aims to develop a four-year fiscal consolidation program, which he views as essential for rebuilding the economy.
Mahama also proposed implementing a 24-hour economy strategy with three shifts of eight hours each to maximize productivity and efficiency.
His vision includes transforming Ghana into an import substitution and export-led economy, enhancing access to public services, and creating more well-paying jobs for unemployed Ghanaians.
He emphasized the need to stop the economic decline and restore stability and inclusive growth.
