GUTA calls for nationwide support for Mahama's economic recovery agenda

The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) has expressed support for President-elect John Dramani Mahama's proposed economic recovery strategies as he prepares to assume office on January 7, 2025.

In an interview with the media, the President of the Union, Dr. Joseph Obeng, described the former president as a ‘listening leader’ and expressed confidence that his initiatives will foster a stable macroeconomic environment conducive to the business community.

"As a country, we must lend the needed support to the incoming Mahama administration, and the policies they plan to implement will require collaborative efforts between the government and the business community to achieve economic recovery," Dr. Obeng said.

He continued, "As John Mahama prepares to assume office, his administration's engagement with key stakeholders like GUTA will be pivotal in implementing effective policies aimed at resetting Ghana's economy and ensuring sustainable growth."

Before the general election, the NDC flagbearer [John Mahama], during an engagement with GUTA members, emphasised his commitment to creating a conducive economic landscape that supports business operations.

He mentioned that his administration would focus on abolishing nuisance taxes, such as the E-Levy, Betting Tax, and COVID-19 levy, in order to alleviate the financial burden on traders and stimulate economic activity.
