Government has announced that the 2026 Budget will allocate GH¢110 million to support the implementation of Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy programme, a flagship initiative aimed at boosting productivity, exports, and job creation across the country.
Presenting the 2026 Budget Statement and Economic Policy, the Finance Minister emphasised that the government is shifting from stabilisation to acceleration, turning economic confidence into tangible investments that improve daily life, including better roads, stronger schools and hospitals, reliable power, more jobs, and targeted support for vulnerable groups.
“The allocation of GH¢110 million in 2026 for the implementation of the 24-Hour Economy programme will be leveraged with GIIF/DBG and private capital, keeping financing largely off the sovereign balance sheet,” the Minister stated.
The 24-Hour Economy initiative, designed to promote round-the-clock business activity, is expected to unlock new opportunities for local and international trade, while creating decent jobs for Ghanaians and supporting continuous economic growth.
