President John Dramani Mahama has announced that the 24-hour economy policy has officially transitioned from a campaign idea into a comprehensive national strategy designed to enhance productivity and drive inclusive economic growth.

Speaking at the official launch of the policy in Accra on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, Mahama recounted how the concept captured national attention in 2024, resonating widely as a symbol of hope and possibility.

“We have moved from slogan to strategy today. In 2024, the idea of a 24-hour economy captured national attention. It became a slogan of hope, a symbol that change was necessary and that it was possible,” he said.

He stressed that while the policy launch marked a milestone, the real test lies ahead in its successful implementation.

As Ghana explores the implementation of a 24-hour economy, attention is shifting toward sectors that can benefit most from round-the-clock operations.

The 24-hour economy concept, which involves businesses and services operating beyond the traditional 8-to-5 schedule, is being promoted as a pathway to job creation, increased productivity, and improved public service delivery.

24-hour economy

But which industries are likely to be at the forefront of this transformation?

1. 24-hour Agro-processing
2. 24-hour Pharmaceutical industry
3. 24-hour Manufacturing industry
4. 24-hour Construction
5. 24-hour Extractive industry (mining and quarrying)
6. 24-hour Sanitation and waste management
7. 24-hour Leisure and hospitality industry
8. 24-hour Digital start-ups and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
9. 24-hour Financial services
10. 24-hour Retail centres
11. 24-hour Transportation services
12. Also, selected public institutions with large customer traffic, such as Ports and Harbours, Customs, Passport Office, DVLA, among others, will be part of the 24-hour economy.
13. The 24-hour economy will also be implemented within the context of other national development initiatives, such as education and training, health services, agriculture, the provision of affordable housing for workers, efficient public transport, efficient justice delivery, among others. It is all part of an ambitious drive by the NDC/Mahama administration to take Ghana to the next level in the global economy.
