ACCRA, Ghana, 19 February: President John Dramani Mahama has signed the 24-Hour Economy Authority Bill into law at the Presidency, paving the way for the full implementation of the government’s flagship economic policy.
The legislation, which was approved by Parliament on February 6 after several days of debate, was originally presented to the House towards the end of 2025.
The newly enacted law establishes the 24-Hour Economy Authority as the central coordinating body responsible for the nationwide rollout of the policy. The Authority is expected to work closely with key government institutions, private sector actors, and other stakeholders to ensure the effective implementation of round-the-clock economic activities across the country.
The 24-hour economy policy forms a core pillar of the administration’s economic transformation agenda and aims to restructure Ghana’s economic framework by promoting continuous production, service delivery, and business operations across multiple sectors. The initiative is also expected to boost productivity, create jobs, enhance competitiveness, and maximise the use of national infrastructure.
The signing marks a major milestone in the government’s efforts to accelerate economic growth and expand opportunities for businesses and workers nationwide.
