A Senior Research Fellow at the University of Ghana, Legon, Dr. George Domfe, has urged the government to create the enabling environment to spur the sustainable growth of the private sector to create jobs for the youth.
He said the government must put in every effort to cut the cost of credit, reduce the cost of electricity, broaden the tax net, as well as reduce taxes to allow businesses to survive and expand.
“The cost of credit is so high in Ghana, and this makes the environment for job creation very intimidating for most businesses. If we want to move Ghana Beyond Aid, electricity prices must also go down,” he said.
