Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>There have been series of divergent views and discussions about a 24-hour economy proposed by 2024 Presidential Candidate of the NDC and a Blue Economy which has been proposed by the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the NPP.<\/b><\/p>\n

These discussions have centered on the feasibility or practicality of these policies and its long-term benefit for Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

Below are my objective views about the two policies:<\/p>\n

24-HOUR ECONOMY<\/p>\n

A 24-hour economy is an economic model whereby the whole or part of the architecture or infrastructure of the economy adjusts to support 24-hour operations of businesses, factories, government services, restaurants, shops, healthcare delivery, banking and other services throughout the day and night.<\/p>\n

A 24-hour economy usually extends productivity from day-time into the night to afford opportunities to business owners and consumers.<\/p>\n

It is very critical to note here that, the policy of digitalization alone cannot ensure a 24-hour economy. Not all businesses and services operating on 24-hour economy uses digitalization.<\/p>\n

As at now, a number of Private Companies and individuals operate 24-hour economy in Ghana especially Hotels, Transport, some Media Houses and Restaurants. The policy can be expanded to include the manufacturing and other industries.<\/p>\n

Some of the benefits of a 24-hour economy are as follows:<\/p>\n

1. Increases employment opportunities to the citizens especially the youth.<\/p>\n

2. Enhance business-business opportunities and competitiveness.<\/p>\n

3. Optimum utilization of resources especially idle resources in a company or an organization.<\/p>\n

4. Increase spending in the economy<\/p>\n

5. Boost tourism<\/p>\n

6. Increases employees\u2019 productivity<\/p>\n

7. Reduces staffing costs to companies\/organizations<\/p>\n

8. Increases economies of scale for manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n

Globally, countries that are known to be at the forefront of successfully practicing a 24-hour economy include: USA, Canada, France, UK, China, Japan, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Australia, Germany and many others.<\/p>\n

Some of the challenges of a 24-hour economy are as follows:<\/p>\n

1. Security<\/p>\n

2. Reliable supply of electricity (Energy is one of the backbone of 24-Hour economy)<\/p>\n

3. Transport systems<\/p>\n

4. Lack of sustainable legal framework or policy guidelines to support the operations of 24-hour economy.<\/p>\n

5. Nuisance taxes and high interest rates on loans.<\/p>\n

The 24-hour economy is an excellent economic model but there are some gaps and questions that demand answers from the 2024 Presidential candidate of the NDC; including \u2013<\/p>\n

1. how the 24-hour economy policy will be implemented and the cost involved in setting up the infrastructure to support the policy?<\/p>\n

2. Will there be any incentives or packages for the Private sector that will actively participate in the policy?<\/p>\n

3. Can the 24-hour economy helps Ghana to stop going to the IMF for bailouts and unnecessary conditionalities?<\/p>\n

4. Can we rely on 24-hour economy to reduce the Country\u2019s Debt-to-GDP Ratio?<\/p>\n

5. Can the 24-hour economy help us to solve the problems of higher inflation rates and the depreciation of the Cedi against some major trading currencies?<\/p>\n

6. Will there be a sustainable shift system for the employees of Government institutions who will actively be involved in 24-hour economy or will the model follow the current shift system of the Security Agencies and the Healthcare industry?<\/p>\n

7. Will there be a new Salary Structure for the employees of both the Private Sector and the government institutions that are involved in the 24-hour economy?<\/p>\n

8. Does the track record of the 2024 NDC Presidential Candidate supports the 24-hour economic policy?<\/p>\n

The answers to these questions will not only help with the ongoing debate but also amass support for the policy should the former President continue to run with the idea.<\/p>\n

BLUE ECONOMY<\/p>\n

The Blue economy is about conserving the marine (sea\/ocean) and freshwater environments while utilizing resources in the sea\/ocean\/freshwater in a sustainable way to produce Food and Energy aimed at attaining economic growth for a country.<\/p>\n

According to the World Bank, Blue Economy is the \u201csustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

European Commission also defined Blue Economy as \u201call economic activities related to oceans, seas and coasts\u201d.<\/p>\n

This policy was hinted at by the Vice President with a promise to prioritize it in the NPP\u2019s 2024 manifesto.<\/p>\n

Some of the benefits of the blue economy are as follows:<\/p>\n

1. Fisheries and Aquaculture improvement (Food Security)<\/p>\n

2. Tourism<\/p>\n

3. Maritime Transport<\/p>\n

4. Offshore Renewable Energy<\/p>\n

5. Seabed Extractive Activities<\/p>\n

6. Marine biotechnology<\/p>\n

7. Bioprospecting<\/p>\n

8. Employment opportunities<\/p>\n

Globally, countries that are known to be at the forefront of successfully practicing a blue economy are: Kenya (the blue economy is a pillar of Kenya\u2019s vision 2030 Development Programme), Vietnam, Denmark, Norway, Samoa, India, China, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Gambia, Portugal, Costa Rica and several others across the world.<\/p>\n

Some of the challenges of the blue economy include:<\/p>\n

1. Illegal Mining Activities (Galamsey) leading to ocean \/sea\/freshwater pollution<\/p>\n

2. Climate Change<\/p>\n

3. Security Threats on Ocean\/seas\/freshwater<\/p>\n

4. Overexploitation of marine\/freshwater resources<\/p>\n

5. Logistics<\/p>\n

6. Energy<\/p>\n

7. Dispossession and Displacement<\/p>\n

8. Ocean grabbing<\/p>\n

9. Lack of effective legal framework or policy guidelines for ocean\/sea\/freshwater governance.<\/p>\n

Although, the blue economy is an excellent economic model, there are some gaps and questions that demand answers from the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the NPP; including \u2013<\/p>\n

1.how the blue economic policy will be implemented and the cost involved in setting up the infrastructure to support the policy?<\/p>\n

2. Can the blue economy helps Ghana to stop going to the IMF for bailouts and unnecessary conditionalities?<\/p>\n

3. Can we rely on the blue economy to reduce the country\u2019s Debt-to-GDP Ratio?<\/p>\n

4. Can the blue economy help us to solve the problems of higher inflation rates and the depreciation of the Cedi against the major trading currencies?<\/p>\n

5. Can we trust the blue economy policy proposed by the 2024 NPP Presidential Candidate considering the current state of the Government\u2019s 1 Village 1 Dam Policy?<\/p>\n

6. How would Ghanaians fully support the blue economic policy when the Government is struggling to achieve meaningful success with the green economy due to galamsey activities?<\/p>\n

7. What role will the Private Sector play in the blue economy policy? What will be the benefits to the Private Sector?<\/p>\n

8. Does the track record of 2024 NPP Presidential Candidate support the blue economic policy?<\/p>\n

Again, the answers to these questions will not only help with the ongoing debate but also amass support for the policy should the Vice President continue to sell the idea.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the 2024 general election will be an interesting one. We only pray for life and God\u2019s Grace.<\/p>\n
