The 24-Hour Economy Authority says it has signed bankable agreements worth over $8 billion within the past 90 days, marking what officials describe as strong investor confidence in the government’s 24-Hour Economy agenda.

Chief Export Development Officer at the Ghana 24-Hour Economy Authority, Gabriel Opoku-Asare, made the disclosure during a roundtable discussion on the theme “Unlocking Africa’s Single Market: How Can Ghanaian Businesses Win Under AfCFTA?” on Channel One TV, as part of the Citi Business Festival on Thursday, June 11, 2026.

He said the agreements reflect the government’s strategy of positioning private sector investment as the main driver of the 24-Hour Economy programme, rather than relying heavily on public funding.

According to him, the approach is intended to ease pressure on public finances while accelerating industrial expansion and development along key economic corridors.

“We are enabling private capital in the development of all the projects we are talking about and the economic corridors we are building. Once private capital comes in, our work is coordination and enabling investment, so it is not sitting on sovereign debt. That is very important to ensure permanence in the long term,” he said.

Mr. Opoku-Asare added that the Authority’s role is shifting from direct government funding of projects to facilitating and coordinating private investment to ensure sustainability.

He emphasised that the over $8 billion in signed agreements within a short period signals growing investor interest in the programme’s direction.

“I’ve spoken about, in the last 90 days all the bankable agreements that we’ve signed already, which is like over $8 billion,” he said.
