Takoradi, Nov. 09, GNA – Mr Richard Adjorlolo, an entrepreneur, has called on the Government to prioritise job creation, infrastructure development and local industrialisation in the 2027 Budget Statement to accelerate economic growth and improve upon living conditions.
He said with the economy showing signs of stabilisation, the next phase of government policy should focus on translating the gains into employment opportunities, affordable prices and improved livelihoods.
Mr. Adjorlolo, owner of RKNA enterprise and a former banker, made the call in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Takoradi.
On economic stability, he urged the Government to sustain low inflation, stabilise the cedi and avoid introducing major new taxes that could discourage investment and business expansion.
Mr Adjorlolo said the 24-hour economy agenda should be reflected in the implementation of major infrastructure projects, with construction activities scheduled at night where feasible to minimise disruptions to daytime economic activities.
He said the 2027 Budget must ultimately demonstrate a clear commitment to moving the country from economic stabilisation to sustained growth, productive investment and decent employment opportunities.
