Mahama's "Big Push" + 24-Hour Economy: Private Sector Bets Are Being Placed

Across Africa, the critical test for any government economic programme is whether the private sector chooses to co-invest. State announcements are cheap; business capital is not. When CEOs and chambers begin engaging seriously with a government's economic framework, it signals genuine policy credibility — or at minimum, calculated positioning by firms that want to be first through an opening door.

President Mahama's administration is deepening its private sector engagement, with CEO Network Ghana and major business leaders now in active conversations around the "Big Push" infrastructure programme and the 24-Hour Economy Policy. The framework is transitioning from political campaigning to structured investment platforms — with the government offering specific tax incentives, PPP frameworks, and regulatory fast-tracks to companies willing to align with the 24-Hour agenda.
