Business News of Saturday, 7 February 2026Source: ghanaiantimes.com.ghParliament has passed the 24-Hour Economy Authority Bill, 2025, paving the way for the establishment of the 24-Hour Economy Authority to implement the government’s 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme. Ayariga therefore urged members of the Minority to obtain copies of the 24-hour economy policy document to better appreciate its objectives and implementation framework. “Mr Speaker, six of the biggest cities that operate 24-hour economies, namely New York, Tokyo, London, Bangkok, Dubai, and Berlin, none of them started off with a 24-hour economy Authority. According to him, the only function of the proposed 24-Hour Economy Authority that directly aligned with the policy objective was the proposal of an incentive regime, including fiscal and monetary incentives, for companies operating within the 24-hour economy value chain. Nkrumah also disputed claims by the Majority that 1,000 jobs had already been created under the 24-hour economy programme, demanding evidence to substantiate the assertion.
