Mahama Commends GPRTU Fare Reduction, Urges Businesses to Pass on Cedi Gains

Accra, Ghana – Former President John Mahama addressed the 9th Ghana CEO Summit today, praising the GPRTU's decision to lower transport fares in response to the cedi's recent appreciation. "I wish to assure you that we will maintain the current fiscal discipline and work to maintain a conducive environment for your businesses to thrive," Mahama stated. He urged other businesses to follow the GPRTU's example, stating, "Pass on some of the cedi appreciation to Ghanaians." The summit, held at the Kempinski Hotel, focused on Ghana's economic reset, with health and education as key priorities. The GPRTU's fare reduction is expected to provide significant relief to consumers, and Mahama's call for other businesses to do the same highlights the government's commitment to easing the burden on Ghanaians. This positive step is seen as a crucial component of Ghana's broader economic recovery strategy.
