The organization wants to know how this plan differs from a previous 24-Hour Economy initiative. This request for clarity came in a statement released before the 2027 Budget Statement.

The Institute of Public Policy and Accountability (IPPA) has questioned the government's proposed $10 billion New Economy programme, demanding clarity on how it differs from the 24-Hour Economy initiative announced earlier as a major driver of job creation and economic transformation. In a press statement signed by the Executive Director of the Institute ahead of the 2027 Budget Statement, the Institute said Ghanaians needed explanations about the new programme, particularly when several flagship interventions announced in the 2026 Budget had yet to demonstrate tangible results.
